Hello Rohit,

Thanks for your interest in the project.

Sure, you have an opportunity to participate in this project. As for getting started with mlpack, the tutorials page should provide some useful documentation on getting comfortable with the library, using the command-line executables, and understanding the code:

http://www.mlpack.org/tutorial.html

In case you have not done yet so, make sure you understand the design pattern used by mlpack.

Thanks,

Marcus

This is essentially an improvement over the famous human detection paper by Dalal and Triggs in CVPR'05 (here), using ideas from the famous Viola Jones Face Detection paper (here).
