I try to train the cascade using the following parameters:

C:\opencv\build\x86\vc12\bin>C:\opencv\build\x86\vc12\bin\opencv_traincascade.exe -data C:\opencv\build\x86\vc12\bin\LETTER_TRAIN -vec C:\opencv\build\x86\vc12\bin\LETTERS.vec -bg C:\opencv\build\x86\vc12\bin\LETTER_NEG.dat -numPos 32 -numNeg 160 -numStages 2 -minHitRate 0.1 -w 50 -h 50 -featureType LBP -precalcValBufSize 1024 -precalcldxBufSize 1024 -maxFalseAlarmRate 0.999

The result I get is:

PARAMETERS:
cascadeDirName: C:\opencv\build\x86\vc12\bin\LETTER_TRAIN
vecFileName: C:\opencv\build\x86\vc12\bin\LETTERS.vec
bgFileName: C:\opencv\build\x86\vc12\bin\LETTER_NEG.dat

Training until now has taken 0 days 0 hours 0 minutes 2 seconds.

===== TRAINING 1-stage =====
<BEGIN
POS count : consumed   32 : 32
Train dataset for temp stage can not be filled. Branch training terminated.

What should I do to make the program run trough all the stages specified in the parameters?

Thank you.

can you provide details about positive and negative samples?

-minHitRate 0.1 will mean that 90 of your positives can get wrongly classified. It is perfectly natural that your algorithm will stop after a single stage .... also your maximum false alarm rate is way to high to take advantage of the early rejecting principle, introduced by the boosted cascade of weak classifiers. I guess you should start reading about traincascade parameters!

Also to add an extra comment ... this is NOT an error, but just the algorithm, boosting, deciding that the model is good enough given your parameters!
