Hi,

I'm trying to train new detectors, with previous OpenCV version 2.3.1, my parameters had worked nice. I have discarded the previous detectors, so I needed to train again in the new version OpenCV 2.4.2. But with the same parameters, it had the following error:

===== TRAINING 2-stage =====
<BEGIN
OpenCV Error: Bad argument (Can not get new positive sample. The most possible reason is 
insufficient count of samples in given vec-file.
) in get, file /home/giseli/opencv/apps/traincascade/imagestorage.cpp, line 159
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'cv::Exception'
  what():  /home/giseli/opencv/apps/traincascade/imagestorage.cpp:159: error: (-5) Can not 
  get new positive sample. The most possible reason is insufficient count of samples in given 
  vec-file. 
  in function get

The parameters that I used:

    ./opencv_traincascade -data mix25x15 -vec mix.vec -bg negativos.txt -numStages 15 
-minHitRate 0.999 -maxFalseAlarmRate 0.5 -numPos 3600 -numNeg 3045 -w 25 -h 15  
-precalcValBufSize 2048 -precalcIdxBufSize 2048 -mode ALL

But I have put the exact number of positive samples, I have looked on the vec file to be sure. I also put the correct number of negatives images. I've tried to put the same number of pos and neg, for example 1200 (of course I've created the corresponding vec file) for each, but it is not working. I have tried also with 1200 pos and 3045 neg.

I'm not sure if is something in the code or in my parameters. Any idea? Thanks!
