Using Haar Cascade for Object Detection
Before the deep learning revolution redefined computer vision, Haar features and Haar cascades were the tools you must not ignore for object detection. Even today, they are very useful object detectors because they are lightweight. In this post, you will learn about the Haar cascade and how it can detect objects. After completing this post, you will know:
- What is Haar features
- How Haar cascade is using Haar features to detect objects
- Some predefined Haar cascade object detectors in OpenCV
Kick-start your project with my book Machine Learning in OpenCV. It provides self-study tutorials with working code.
Let’s get started.
