Cascade Classifier for boulders

[PiMeson123]

We have functional cascade classification code using OpenCV that takes in a xml file that has all the information about the classifier being used. We would like to know if any other teams were successful in generating a classifier that tracks boulders, as we are having a difficult time generating ours. Is anyone willing to show the .xml file they have generated that is the final product of the opencv_traincascade program with boulders as the positive samples? Thank you.

Our team got a fairly accurate cascade classifier for tracking boulders as well. It also uses depth as well for Boulder tracking as I'm not certain on what strategy I plan to employ. I trained on 900 manually classified images; a competition ready program probably needs even more than that for precision. I can provide the parameters I used to create the datasets later if that will help. There are a few peculiarities one needs to account for, such as the training program's requirement of more images beyond what one specifies with -numPos. I have a few programs that I used to create the sample as well.
