Goal
----
In this chapter we will familiarize with the barcode detection and decoding methods available in OpenCV.
Basics
----
Barcode is major technique to identify commodity in real life. A common barcode is a pattern of parallel lines arranged by black bars and white bars with vastly different reflectivity. Barcode recognition is to scan the barcode in the horizontal direction to get a string of binary codes composed of bars of different widths and colors, that is, the code information of the barcode. The content of barcode can be decoded by matching with various barcode encoding methods. Currently, we support EAN-8, EAN-13, UPC-A and UPC-E standards.

Code example
------------
### Main class
Several algorithms were introduced for barcode recognition.
While coding, we firstly need to create a cv::barcode::BarcodeDetector object. It has mainly three member functions, which will be introduced in the following.
#### Initialization
Optionally user can construct barcode detector with super resolution model which should be downloaded from https://github.com/WeChatCV/opencv_3rdparty/tree/wechat_qrcode (`sr.caffemodel`, `sr.prototxt`).
@snippet cpp/barcode.cpp initialize
We need to create variables to store the outputs.
@snippet cpp/barcode.cpp output
#### Detecting
cv::barcode::BarcodeDetector::detect method uses an algorithm based on directional coherence. First, we compute the average squared gradients of every pixel, @cite bazen2002systematic . Then we divide an image into square patches and compute the **gradient orientation coherence** and **mean gradient direction** of each patch. Then, we connect all patches that have **high gradient orientation coherence** and **similar gradient direction**. At this stage we use multiscale patches to capture the gradient distribution of multi-size barcodes, and apply non-maximum suppression to filter duplicate proposals. At last, we use cv::minAreaRect to bound the ROI, and output the corners of the rectangles.
Detect codes in the input image, and output the corners of detected rectangles:
@snippet cpp/barcode.cpp detect
#### Decoding
cv::barcode::BarcodeDetector::decode method first super-scales the image (_optionally_) if it is smaller than threshold, sharpens the image and then binaries it by OTSU or local binarization. Then it reads the contents of the barcode by matching the similarity of the specified barcode pattern.
#### Detecting and decoding
cv::barcode::BarcodeDetector::detectAndDecode combines `detect` and `decode` in a single call. A simple example below shows how to use this function:
@snippet cpp/barcode.cpp detectAndDecode
Visualize the results:
@snippet cpp/barcode.cpp visualize

Goal
----
In this tutorial,
- We will learn how the Haar cascade object detection works.
- We will see the basics of face detection and eye detection using the Haar Feature-based Cascade Classifiers
- We will use the @ref cv::CascadeClassifier class to detect objects in a video stream. Particularly, we
will use the functions:
- @ref cv::CascadeClassifier::load to load a .xml classifier file. It can be either a Haar or a LBP classifier
- @ref cv::CascadeClassifier::detectMultiScale to perform the detection.
Theory
------
Object Detection using Haar feature-based cascade classifiers is an effective object detection
method proposed by Paul Viola and Michael Jones in their paper, "Rapid Object Detection using a
Boosted Cascade of Simple Features" in 2001. It is a machine learning based approach where a cascade
function is trained from a lot of positive and negative images. It is then used to detect objects in
other images.
Here we will work with face detection. Initially, the algorithm needs a lot of positive images
(images of faces) and negative images (images without faces) to train the classifier. Then we need
to extract features from it. For this, Haar features shown in the below image are used. They are just
like our convolutional kernel. Each feature is a single value obtained by subtracting sum of pixels
under the white rectangle from sum of pixels under the black rectangle.
![image](images/haar_features.jpg)
Now, all possible sizes and locations of each kernel are used to calculate lots of features. (Just
imagine how much computation it needs? Even a 24x24 window results over 160000 features). For each
feature calculation, we need to find the sum of the pixels under white and black rectangles. To solve
this, they introduced the integral image. However large your image, it reduces the calculations for a
given pixel to an operation involving just four pixels. Nice, isn't it? It makes things super-fast.
But among all these features we calculated, most of them are irrelevant. For example, consider the
image below. The top row shows two good features. The first feature selected seems to focus on the
property that the region of the eyes is often darker than the region of the nose and cheeks. The
second feature selected relies on the property that the eyes are darker than the bridge of the nose.
But the same windows applied to cheeks or any other place is irrelevant. So how do we select the
best features out of 160000+ features? It is achieved by **Adaboost**.
![image](images/haar.png)
For this, we apply each and every feature on all the training images. For each feature, it finds the
best threshold which will classify the faces to positive and negative. Obviously, there will be
errors or misclassifications. We select the features with minimum error rate, which means they are
the features that most accurately classify the face and non-face images. (The process is not as simple as
this. Each image is given an equal weight in the beginning. After each classification, weights of
misclassified images are increased. Then the same process is done. New error rates are calculated.
Also new weights. The process is continued until the required accuracy or error rate is achieved or
the required number of features are found).
The final classifier is a weighted sum of these weak classifiers. It is called weak because it alone
can't classify the image, but together with others forms a strong classifier. The paper says even
200 features provide detection with 95% accuracy. Their final setup had around 6000 features.
(Imagine a reduction from 160000+ features to 6000 features. That is a big gain).
So now you take an image. Take each 24x24 window. Apply 6000 features to it. Check if it is face or
not. Wow.. Isn't it a little inefficient and time consuming? Yes, it is. The authors have a good
solution for that.
In an image, most of the image is non-face region. So it is a better idea to have a simple
method to check if a window is not a face region. If it is not, discard it in a single shot, and don't
process it again. Instead, focus on regions where there can be a face. This way, we spend more time
checking possible face regions.
For this they introduced the concept of **Cascade of Classifiers**. Instead of applying all 6000
features on a window, the features are grouped into different stages of classifiers and applied one-by-one.
(Normally the first few stages will contain very many fewer features). If a window fails the first
stage, discard it. We don't consider the remaining features on it. If it passes, apply the second stage
of features and continue the process. The window which passes all stages is a face region. How is
that plan!
The authors' detector had 6000+ features with 38 stages with 1, 10, 25, 25 and 50 features in the first five
stages. (The two features in the above image are actually obtained as the best two features from
Adaboost). According to the authors, on average 10 features out of 6000+ are evaluated per
sub-window.
So this is a simple intuitive explanation of how Viola-Jones face detection works. Read the paper for
more details or check out the references in the Additional Resources section.
Haar-cascade Detection in OpenCV
--------------------------------
OpenCV provides pretrained models that can be read using the @ref cv::CascadeClassifier::load method.
These models are located in the data folder in the OpenCV installation or can be found [here](https://github.com/opencv/opencv/tree/5.x/data).
The following code example will use pretrained Haar cascade models to detect faces and eyes in an image.
First, a @ref cv::CascadeClassifier is created and the necessary XML file is loaded using the @ref cv::CascadeClassifier::load method.
Afterwards, the detection is done using the @ref cv::CascadeClassifier::detectMultiScale method, which returns boundary rectangles for the detected faces or eyes.

webcam:

Be sure the program will find the path of files *haarcascade_frontalface_alt.xml* and
*haarcascade_eye_tree_eyeglasses.xml*. They are located in
*opencv/data/haarcascades*
-# This is the result of using the file *lbpcascade_frontalface.xml* (LBP trained) for the face
detection. For the eyes we keep using the file used in the tutorial.
