Hi all I was trying to detect profile face. I found it's possible to detect it using haarcascade_profileface.xml. But I confirmed it could only detect a left-side face. How can It detect the other side face?

Here is a example. The size of image is 960x703.


face_cascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier('haarcascade_profileface.xml')

faces = face_cascade.detectMultiScale(gray, 1.3, 5)

the profile facecascade was indeed trained only on left side faces.

to detect right side faces, you haveto flip the image, and do it again:

flipped = cv2.flip(gray, 1)
faces = face_cascade.detectMultiScale(flipped, 1.3, 5)
