how to make an xml file open cv readable?

Question

i have an xml file which is haar cascade and supposed to be on server, but I wanna use it in my openCV file code, how should I do that? btw I used <opencv_storage> tag.

Answer 1

You need to give the full paths of the xml. The xml files are located under the

opencv\data\haarcascades

location.

For instance:

import numpy as np
import cv2

face_cascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier('C:\\Users\\opencv\\data\\haarcascades\\haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml')
