YAML files generated from xml2yml.m cannot be read by Opencv FilgStorage class

YAML files generated from xml2yml.m cannot be read by Opencv FilgStorage class
after that , I noticed the comments in xml2yaml.m
%% Convert the file type of opencv xml annotations to yaml thus it can be read by opencv
% This functions relies on http://code.google.com/p/yamlmatlab/
% The results needs to be further refined to deal with indentation problem
what's the meaning of " needs to be further refined" ??

Hi, @seanXYZ I am not sure which OpenCV version you are talking about. The code should works with the previous version 2.4.9. Alternatively, you could try the mexOpenCV https://github.com/kyamagu/mexopencv, it should help you getting things done with the latest OpenCV YAML interface.

Hi, thank you for your message. I have already figured it out.And read and test all your code.
The problem takes place because that the format of YAML can not be parsed on my machine.So I have tried different formats, this format below is working:
%YAML:1.0

annotation:
folder: VOC2007
filename: "000001.jpg"
source: {database: The VOC2007 Database, annotation: PASCAL VOC2007, image: flickr,
flickrid: '341012865'}
owner: {flickrid: Fried Camels, name: Jinky the Fruit Bat}
size: {width: '353', height: '500', depth: '3'}
segmented: '0'
object:
- bndbox: {xmin: '48', ymin: '240', xmax: '195', ymax: '371'}
name: dog
pose: Left
truncated: '1'
difficult: '0'
- bndbox: {xmin: '8', ymin: '12', xmax: '352', ymax: '498'}
name: person
pose: Left
truncated: '1'
difficult: '0'

  name: dog
  pose: Left
  truncated: '1'

I think you can use a lot of APIs to edit your YAML file or XML file. To the infomation of the object, you may write a program to select the box of it.
