Problem with face recognition using kinect

edit

@Peter Heim ; How can I run the program from the bin folder ? what files must be moved and how?

cd to face_recognition/bin then rosrun face_recognition Fserver in another terminal rosrun face_recognition Fclient transfer train.txt, haarcascade_frontalface_alt.xml and the data folder haarcascade_frontalface_alt

@Peter Heim ::: I transfer the following files to the Bin folder """ data folder ,, train.txt ,,, haarcascade_frontalface_alt.xml ,,,facedata..xml """ Then I Execute the following commands ::: 1_ roscore 2_roslaunch openni_launch openni.launch 3_rosrun rviz rviz >>> and here i edit the fixed frame to ""camera_depth_optical_frame""and added PointCloud2 and set the topic to /camera/depth/points 4_rosrun image_view image_view image:=/camera/rgb/image_color 5_roscd face_recognition 6_rosrun face_recognition Fserver 7_rosrun face_recognition Fclient 8_rostopic pub -1 /fr_order face_recognition/FRClientGoal -- 2 "Somaya" 9_rostopic pub -1 /fr_order face_recognition/FRClientGoal -- 0 "none" 10-rostopic pub -1 /fr_order face_recognition/FRClientGoal -- 1 "none" 11_rostopic pub -1 /fr_order face_recognition/FRClientGoal -- 4 "none" But still no saved images ,, what is wrong ???? and what the variable "none" in the rostopic pub-1 refers to ????

make sure the kinect is publishing images to /camera/image_raw you can use rxgraph to see if they are connected. I found it easier to change the topic in face_recognition.ccp and redo rosmake. the none in the other 3 topics is just a place holder. when the server starts what does it print out

@Peter Heim I changed the face_recognition.cpp """" //subscribe to video stream through image transport class image_sub_ = it_.subscribe("/camera/image_raw", 1, &FaceRecognition::imageCB, this) """" after that when I tried to run the ""rosrun face_recognition Fserver"" it printed [ INFO] [1399282787.174585362]: Training data loaded (50 training images of 2 people): [ INFO] [1399282787.174876259]: People: [ INFO] [1399282787.174944313]: <sergio> [ INFO] [1399282787.175038382]: , <pouyan> terminate called after throwing an instance of 'ros::InvalidNameException' what(): Character [ ] is not valid as the first character in Graph Resource Name [ /camera/image_raw].

Before Editing the face_recognition.cpp>>> it printed the following "" [ INFO] [1399282787.174585362]: Training data loaded (50 training images of 2 people): [ INFO] [1399282787.174876259]: People: [ INFO] [1399282787.174944313]: <sergio>

You have to change it to the topic published by your kinect don't use cut and past type it in i have found that will cause errors. Using rxgraph the face recognition node must connect to the kinect topic or no images will be produced
