Hello,

Using OpenCV 2.4.13 (64bit) on a Windows 10 system.

When using subject function to load my own trained cascade.xml file, I am getting below error:

OpenCV Error: Unspecified error (The node does not represent a user object (unknown type?)) in cvRead, file C:\builds\2_4_PackSlave-win64-vc12-shared\opencv\modules\core\src\persistence.cpp, line 5008

I couldn't understand what I am doing wrong. I have tried two different format of the cascade.xml (one is old format). Both failing.

My cascade.xml files are as follows (couldn't provide links as my karma points are not sufficient):

original format cascade.xml:
