Trying to run the example, what am I doing wrong?

Hi Michal,

I'm tying to run the example, and I'm getting this error:

$:~/clandmark/build/examples$ ./static_input 
Usage: static_input <path_to_haarcascade> <flandmark_model.xml> <input_image> [<output_image>]

feeding the parameters in the suggested order:

$:~/clandmark/build/examples$ ./static_input ./haarcascade_frontalface_alt.xml ./flandmark_model.xml ./face.jpg
Flandmark model loaded in 16.5043 ms
--(!)Error loading

Ok, my bad, looking at code, you don't have to put the name of the haarcascade xml file, only the directory as it's done in the code.

Yes, sorry for that.
I should unify the examples and create some documentation for them.

Thank you Michal, documentation will be of a great help, I'm currently installing the flandmark as I am working with C (IplImage...) I see that the new Clandmark use the Mat, vectors and it's OOP based, is there a way to use it with C? or should I use flandmark?
Thanks again!

Hi @HDaoud,

CLandmark is object oriented. However, I think you can use it in C as well (actually, the MATLAB interface is doing exactly that).
Moreover, I think that IplImage is considered to be obsolete in OpenCV and cv::Mat is more convenient to use in my humble opinion.

flandmark is of course also possible to be used, but we do not work on it anymore. So, it is limited to detect only those 8 predefined landmarks and it seems that the possibility to save newly trained model is now broken.

Thanks for the reply, I will dig more in CLandmark while the documentation is prepared ;)
