Requiring before runnig the program

• Adding complied OpenCV apps in bin project directory. In this project used opencv_annotation.exe, opencv_createsamples.exe, opencv_ffmpeg300.dll, opencv_traincascade.exe, opencv_world300.dll, opencv_world300d.dll files about 18 MB (OpenCV v3.0).
• Mentioned files can be download from here.

Short keys

• Ctrl+Right and Ctrl+Left for goto next image and previous image respectively.
• Ctrl+Up and Ctrl+Down for accept image as positive and negative respectively and goto the next image.

The result program structure

• Negatives: Directory include a text file and negative images.
• Positives: Directory include a text file and positive images.
• samples.vec: Vector file from positive images.
• Cascade _ ??x??: Directory (an arbitrary name) include trained xml files from vector file and negative images.
