I'm writing a report to send to my boss detailing what I've done with training a classifier and how this program works when creating it. I've hit one minor snag though. I don't have a concrete idea for what a stage is. I know that more of them will increase the quality of a classifier (to a point), but that's about the extent of my knowledge. My guess is that it's the number of times it will combine positive samples and negative images, but i don't really know. He's not a tech person either, so a simple answer is better then a convoluted technical answer. Thanks.

Thanks for the response I'll definitely use this method instead. I'll post my results. The main reason i was doing it the other way is because I've barely understand any of this, and I'm just following tutorials. Hopefully i can finish before my dead line. If you use stack overflow i posted this question there too. So i'll upvote and stuff if you post this answer there too.

I'm running windows 7, and i'm trying to get some haar training done to make a haar classifier. I've got to the point were i need to merge a folder full of .vec files. I've been working on this for the better part of a day. I've tried following coding robin's tutorial but i get an error of:

g++.exe": pkg-config: No such file or directory
g++.exe": opencv -I.: No such file or directory
g++.exe": installation problem, cannot exec `cpp': No such file or directory is this "installation problem" a problem with my g++ install? I'm still not sure.

those files (or directories) aren't in my opencv folder so i'm not really sure what to do about that. I vaguely remember reading that those were for if you were installing it with linux or something so i tried a different method.

I couldn't get Naotoshi Seo's to work because i can't download the mergevec.exe file anywhere. I always get a "your computer or network may be sending automated queries. To protect our users, we can't process your request right now." I've done virus scans i've tried downloading from different computers and networks nothing works. since the previous method of compiling the mergevec.cpp file didn't work for me either, I then looked for yet another method where i found this tutorial for using python. So I installed python 2.7.9 and ran this in command prompt

"C:\Users\Austin\Desktop\Recog_Project>python mergevec.py -v samples -o weed_samples.vec"

and i got this as a result

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "mergevec.py", line 170, in <module>
merge_vec_files(vec_directory, output_filename)
File "mergevec.py", line 133, in merge_vec_files
val = struct.unpack('<iihh', content[:12])="" <br=""> struct.error: unpack requires a string argument of length 12" I don't know what to do anymore to try and get this to work.

I've tried installing Ubuntu on a virtual machine, but i can't even figure out how to change the resolution from 640:480. Ran these commands in terminal and restarted and got nothing.

sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-dkms virtualbox-guest-utils virtualbox-guest-x11

I also did something with some drivers but I can't remember what it was. basically this is my last hope. I'm out of ideas. I'll of course keep looking and for answers and will post any progress i make. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated as my job is on the line. I could skype screen share if it would be helpful too. Thanks in advance.
