trainCasca​deObjectDe​tector uses what type of classifier?

trainCascadeObjectDetector with Haar features uses what type of classifier? Is it 'Adaboost'? If it is Adaboost, then is there a way to specify what type of adaboost like Simple/Gentle?

If you go to the documentation page of the trainCascadeObjectDetector:

http://www.mathworks.com/help/vision/ref/traincascadeobjectdetector.html#bts6lqw

you will notice that the Haar FeatureType is based on reference [1]. That paper talks about Adaboost.

I would look into the paper for more details.

I wanted to know that, is there any matlab command to specify which type of adaboost we are using?

[Dimitris Iliou]

The trainCascadeObjectDetector function uses Gentle Adaboost.

I do not think that there is way to change that since there is no input to that function that would allow you to do so.
