i'm working on face recognition Project and i have followed the tutorial in the opencv website and i have use the same dataset , but when i test my program i have strange result (the confidence value) it gives me a large value((confidence = 621034879.) also it give me negative confidence when testing a sample from the same dataset . why the Confidence have such large value and have a negative value??? here is my code : `
include "opencv2/core/core.hpp"
#include "opencv2/contrib/contrib.hpp"
#include "opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp"
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <sstream>
using namespace cv;
using namespace std;
static void read_csv(const string& filename, vector<Mat>& images, vector<int>& labels, char separator = ';') {
std::ifstream file(filename.c_str(), ifstream::in);
if (!file) {
string error_message = "No valid input file was given, please check the given filename.";
CV_Error(CV_StsBadArg, error_message);
}
string line, path, classlabel;
while (getline(file, line)) {
stringstream liness(line);
getline(liness, path, separator);
getline(liness, classlabel);
if (!path.empty() && !classlabel.empty()) {
images.push_back(imread(path, 0));
labels.push_back(atoi(classlabel.c_str()));
}
}
}
int main(int argc, const char *argv[]) {
// Check for valid command line arguments, print usage
// if no arguments were given.
// Get the path to your CSV.
string fn_csv = "C:/Users/ASUS/Documents/Visual Studio 2013/Projects/Car_Detection/a.txt";
// These vectors hold the images and corresponding labels.
vector<Mat> images;
vector<int> labels;
// Read in the data. This can fail if no valid
// input filename is given.
try {
read_csv(fn_csv, images, labels);
}
catch (cv::Exception& e) {
cerr << "Error opening file \"" << fn_csv << "\". Reason: " << e.msg << endl;
// nothing more we can do
exit(1);
}
// Quit if there are not enough images for this demo.
if (images.size() <= 1) {
string error_message = "This demo needs at least 2 images to work. Please add more images to your data set!";
CV_Error(CV_StsError, error_message);
}
// Get the height from the first image. We'll need this
// later in code to reshape the images to their original
// size:
int height = images[0].rows;
Mat testSample = images[images.size() - 1];
int testLabel = labels[labels.size() - 10];
images.pop_back();
labels.pop_back();
Ptr<FaceRecognizer> model = createEigenFaceRecognizer();
model->train(images, labels);
// The following line predicts the label of a given
// test image:
int predictedLabel = model->predict(testSample);
double confidence = 0.0;
model->predict(testSample, predictedLabel, confidence);
//
string result_message = format("Label = %d / confidence = %d.", predictedLabel, confidence);
cout << result_message << endl;
return 0;
