For chfakht;

(1) The C99 mode probably requires variable declaration at the front, so you may consider int i at the front of code and use it at for loop like (i=0...

(2) cvHaarDetectObjects, I used faces = cvHaarDetectObjects ( src_gray, cascade, storage, 1.11, 4, 0, cvSize (40, 40), cvSize (100, 100) );. According to OpenCV document, we need the maxSize parameter.

hi;
when i runned this code i have an assertion error at
assert(capture != NULL);
please help me to fix this problem

Nice!

Can anyone tell me how to compile and execute it?

i'm able to compile it using this command:

g++ facerecognition.cpp -I/usr/local/include/opencv -lopencv_core -lopencv_imgproc -lopencv_highgui -lopencv_legacy -lopencv_objdetect -o face
but while running the exe it failes giving this error:

VIDIOC_QUERYMENU: Invalid argument
VIDIOC_QUERYMENU: Invalid argument
VIDIOC_QUERYMENU: Invalid argument

Hey fatima me too i have the same problem , can you help me if you have resolved the problem !!!

thanks, very very good.

Hi anujtripathi04,

I am getting the same issue , can you please tell how you resolved this issue.
