Cascade classifier

Q: How deeply does Build Your Own Robot: Using Python, CRICKIT, and Raspberry Pi cover cascade classifier?

Explains model loading and detection preprocessing, while deferring the underlying cascade theory to OpenCV documentation.

As explained in Build Your Own Robot: Using Python, CRICKIT, and Raspberry Pi

CascadeClassifier is an OpenCV API that constructs a cascade-classifier object from a trained model file.

A cascade classifier is an OpenCV object created from a trained XML model file. For face detection, OpenCV supplies pretrained Haar feature-based cascade models in its data directory. section 9.3.1

Detecting a face

Load photo.jpg, convert the frame to grayscale, equalize its histogram, and call face_classifier.detectMultiScale(clean). A sample image returns one face represented by [215, 105, 268, 268].
