OpenCV problem - jogl - Jun-23-2018
I am trying to create my own Haar Cascade classifier.
I keep getting the "Invalid background description file." error.

I have tried all the solutions that I could find on the web.
I was roughly following the tutorial here: https://pythonprogramming.net/haar-cascade-object-detection-python-opencv-tutorial/
Anybody have any experience with this? Suggestions?
Thanks
P.S.: Don't know haw I ended up with this in the Bar!

@jogl - I moved the thread to Bar because it is not a general Python coding question. You are using a very specific library/program, which we don't even see.
If you share your original code from which it would be possible to trace the source of error, thread can go back to programming subforum.
