I have used the code from this tutorial: http://opencvlover.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/face-detection-in-javacv-using-haar.html
It has been slightly modified to read a different image, and display this image before attempting face detection (line 14). Through this I can confirm that the image is being loaded correctly.
The error occurs later at line 23. Here is the complete error code:
OpenCV Error: Null pointer (Invalid classifier cascade) in cvHaarDetectObjectsForROC,file ..\..\..\..\opencv\modules\objdetect\src\haar.cpp, line 1514
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: ..\..\..\..\opencv\modules\objdetect\src\haar.cpp:1514: error: (-27) Invalid classifier cascade in function cvHaarDetectObjectsForROC

Here is my complete program:

cvShowImage("",img);cvWaitKey(0);
detect(img);
}
public static void detect(IplImage src){
CvHaarClassifierCascade cascade = new
CvHaarClassifierCascade(cvLoad(XML_FILE));
CvMemStorage storage = CvMemStorage.create();
CvSeq sign = cvHaarDetectObjects(
src,
cascade,
storage,

CV_HAAR_DO_CANNY_PRUNING);
cvClearMemStorage(storage);
int total_Faces = sign.total();
for(int i = 0; i < total_Faces; i++){
CvRect r = new CvRect(cvGetSeqElem(sign, i));
cvRectangle (
src,
cvPoint(r.x(), r.y()),
cvPoint(r.width() + r.x(), r.height() + r.y()),
CvScalar.RED,
2,
CV_AA,
0);
}
cvShowImage("Result", src);
cvWaitKey(0);
}
}
Anybody know what is causing this error, or how it can be fixed? Thanks!
Solved!
I googled the "haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml", downloaded it and stuck it in my folder in the workspace, took /resources/ off of the filename in the XML string and it works.
