Step 1 opencv-haar-classifier-training error

[rajarao47]

Hi, 1) I tried step 2 to step 4. Had about 675 positive and1970 negative pictures. I could generate positives.txt and negatives.txt files. while running step 5:(below) perl bin/createsamples.pl positives.txt negatives.txt samples 1700 "opencv_createsamples -bgcolor 0 -bgthresh 0 -maxxangle 1.1 -maxyangle 1.1 maxzangle 0.5 -maxidev 40 -w 24 -h 24" I am receiving error as below: it gave error as: Error is: syntax error near unexpected token "(".

2) I realized that I missed step 1. Hence, I restarted the process and entered the first command as below and got message as below:

root@rajas01:~/rajashaar2# brew tap homebrew/science W: be careful as root.

======================================================================== You may want to update following environments after installed linuxbrew.

PATH, MANPATH, INFOPATH

(example: /usr/share/doc/linuxbrew-wrapper/examples/profile)

Don't run this as root! root@rajas01:~/rajashaar2# Don't run this as root!

---

It indicates a warning as do not run this as root! I have gone through previous correspondences and unable to locate any solution for this. Am I missing any step here? Please help. (Note: I am trying this on web server installed with Ubuntu.)

Regarding 1.: See https://github.com/mrnugget/opencv-haar-classifier-training/issues/4 Regarding 2.: the error comes from the fact that you're running this on Ubuntu. brew is a package manager for macOS.

Hi Nugget, Thanks for your help. I did more research and realized that brew package is for mac OS. (Sorry for this as I am just bit new in programming and exploring slowly) While running step 5, I am still getting below error message as sh 1: ### Syntax error: "(" unexpected "Samples' folder is still empty.

Kindly help. Is there any alternate command required for Ubuntu instead of brew

Try removing the "(", ")" and whitespace from the file names.

Hi, I have corrected the naming of the .jpg files. It worked fine now. Thanks for your help.
