Common Errors Faced

Invalid HAAR feature (expected: 'rw.r.x < W'), where
>     'rw.r.x' is 17<br>
> must be less than<br>
>     'W' is 15

You will find a <size></size> tag inside of the metioned HAAR .xml file, It Contains the Width-W, and Height-H, making either of the needed value greater than the required value helps. (basically 32)
