 CPU, you can expect a speed-up of around 6.9X. There are many factors to explain why we do not achieve a speed-up of almost 8X.

 Haar-cascade Detection in OpenCV
 --------------------------------
 OpenCV provides a training method (see @ref tutorial_traincascade) or pretrained models, that can be read using the @ref cv::CascadeClassifier::load method.
-The pretrained models are located in the data folder in the OpenCV installation or can be found [here](https://github.com/opencv/opencv/tree/master/data).

 The following code example will use pretrained Haar cascade models to detect faces and eyes in an image.
 First, a @ref cv::CascadeClassifier is created and the necessary XML file is loaded using the @ref cv::CascadeClassifier::load method.

 Working with a boosted cascade of weak classifiers includes two major stages: the training and the detection stage. The detection stage using either HAAR or LBP based models, is described in the @ref tutorial_cascade_classifier "object detection tutorial". This documentation gives an overview of the functionality needed to train your own boosted cascade of weak classifiers. The current guide will walk through all the different stages: collecting training data, preparation of the training data and executing the actual model training.
 
-To support this tutorial, several official OpenCV applications will be used: [opencv_createsamples](https://github.com/opencv/opencv/tree/master/apps/createsamples), [opencv_annotation](https://github.com/opencv/opencv/tree/master/apps/annotation), [opencv_traincascade](https://github.com/opencv/opencv/tree/master/apps/traincascade) and [opencv_visualisation](https://github.com/opencv/opencv/tree/master/apps/visualisation).
