This is my code for face recognition in videos. It runs without any error but it's prediction is wrong most of the time.I am using LBPH face recognizer to recognize the faces. I tried using haar cascades but it does not load. so i switched to LBHP.please help me to improve the prediction. I am using gray scale cropped images of size 500 x 500 (pixels) for training the cascade classifier.

// input data really depends on the algorithm used.
//
// I strongly encourage you to play around with the algorithms. See which work best
// in your scenario, LBPH should always be a contender for robust face recognition.
//
// Since I am showing the Fisherfaces algorithm here, I also show how to resize the
// face you have just found:
/*Mat face_resized;
cv::resize(face, face_resized, Size(im_width, im_height), 1.0, 1.0, INTER_CUBIC);
// Now perform the prediction, see how easy that is:
cout<<("\nface resized");
imshow("resized face image", face_resized);*/

cout<<("\nface predicted");
// And finally write all we've found out to the original image!
// First of all draw a green rectangle around the detected face:
cout<<("\nnow writing to original");
rectangle(original, face_i, CV_RGB(0, 255,0), 1);
// Create the text we will annotate the box with:
string box_text;
box_text = format( "Prediction =",prediction);
// Get stringname
if ( prediction >= 0 && prediction <=1 )
{
box_text.append( g_listname_t[prediction] );
}
else box_text.append( "Unknown" );
// Calculate the position for annotated text (make sure we don't
// put illegal values in there):
int pos_x = std::max(face_i.tl().x - 10, 0);
int pos_y = std::max(face_i.tl().y - 10, 0);
// And now put it into the image:
putText(original, box_text, Point(pos_x, pos_y), FONT_HERSHEY_PLAIN, 1.0, CV_RGB(0,255,0), 2.0);
}
// Show the result:
imshow("face_recognizer", original);
// And display it:
char key = (char) waitKey(50);
// Exit this loop on escape:
if(key == 27)
break;
