Boosting with OpenCV

My next step is to apply OpenCV's boosting framework to my problem. I have OpenCv installed, and after a bunch of linking issues, I can at least get things to compile. I have spent this weekend and today figuring out how to use it. I have a much better handle on it now and will hopefully get it working soon.

I have been referencing this tutorial, which is ok.

I plan to train 26 different classifiers, one for each letter.

Random fact: OpenCV either lets you give it one training image, where it takes random samples of the image, or it lets you give it a bunch of images and it does nothing with those. Although the tutorial mentioned above provides a way to combine the 2 approaches.
