This is an example showing how you might use dlib to create a reasonably
function command line tool for object detection. This example assumes
functional command line tool for object detection. This example assumes
you are familiar with the contents of at least the following example

This program is a command line tool for learning to detect objects in images.
Therefore, to create an object detector it requires a set of annotated training
images. To create this annotated data you will need to compile the imglab tool
included with dlib. To do this, go to the tools/imglab folder and type the
following:
images. To create this annotated data you will need to use the imglab tool
included with dlib. It is located in the tools/imglab folder and can be compiled
using the following commands.
cd tools/imglab
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
Note that you may need to install CMake (www.cmake.org) for this to work. Also,
if you are using visual studio then you should use the following command to
compile instead of "make"
cmake --build . --config Release

Next, lets assume you have a folder of images called /tmp/images. These images
should contain examples of the objects you want to learn to detect. You will

not labeled is implicitly assumed to be not an object we should detect.

Once you finish labeling objects go to the file menu, click save, and then close
the program. This will save the object boxes back to mydataset.xml. You can verify
this by opening the tool again with
./imglab mydataset.xml

Returning to the present example program, we can compile it using cmake just as we
did with the imglab tool. Once compiled, we can issue the command
./train_object_detector -tv mydataset.xml
which will train an object detection model based on our labeled data. The model
will be saved to the file object_detector.svm. Once this has finished we can use

There are also a number of other useful command line options in the current
