i am new to such machine learning algorithm so ask if something is not clear and the error i am getting is
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException on this line s.setType(SVM.C_SVC);
here is my code
Mat[] image = new Mat[2];
image[0] = Imgcodecs.imread("/home/tomna/NetBeansProjects/main/src/main/PLATES/1.jpg", 0);
image[1] = Imgcodecs.imread("/home/tomna/NetBeansProjects/main/src/main/PLATES/2.jpg", 0);
//
image[0] = image[0].reshape(0,1);
image[1] = image[1].reshape(0,1);
Mat img_mat = Imgcodecs.imread("/home/tomna/NetBeansProjects/main/src/main/Dadcar3.png", 0);
img_mat.reshape(0,1);
Mat new_img = new Mat(2, 50367, CV_32FC1);
float[] labels= {-1,1};
Mat labelsmat = new Mat(2,1,CV_32FC1);
labelsmat.convertTo(labelsmat, CV_32FC1);
SVM s = null;
s.setType(SVM.C_SVC);
s.setKernel(SVM.LINEAR);
s.setGamma(3);
s.setDegree(3);
s.train(new_img, 3, labelsmat);
s.save("/home/tomna/NetBeansProjects/main/src/main/images.xml");
s.predict(img_mat);
