Hello,
I'm using the sample code for latentsvm detector [1]. It's from opencv 2.4, this sample code actually seems to be gone in the master branch (?)
I'm using what seems to a be a pretrained model on VOC2007 [2], I'm only using the cars.xml model not all of them.
Here is the output of running the car detector on a picture of a cat : https://i.imgur.com/IltJIsC.png
It did an ok job at finding cars : https://i.imgur.com/5dbUTxf.png
But then again, everything appears to be a car ..
