Old Robot Controller Board Reloaded, with ARDUINO

I got a pair of old robot controller boards based on 8051. It could drive four DC motors through its two L293 H-Bridge drivers, a 16×2 character LCD, an RS232 port and plenty of IO pins.But it was based on an  old 8051, and that could be the reason that someone discarded this board in a junkyard.

Create Your Own Haar Classifier for Detecting objects in OpenCV

The steps for training a haar classifier and detecting an object can be divided into :

• Creating the description file of positive samples
• Creating the description file of negative samples
• Packing the positive samples into a vec file
• Training the classifier
• Converting the trained cascade into a xml file
• Using the xml file to detect the object

Let us see all these steps in detail.
