I try to implement this code, using colab:
x = np.load('data_sample.npy',allow_pickle=True)
stacked_x = np.concatenate([x,x,x],1)
stacked_x.shape
but my sample was an image in jpg format, so I wasn't able to convert these images to .npy to use it.
actually, I tried this code:
import numpy as np
array = np.asarray('image.JPG')
print(array.tobytes())
print(array)
x = np.load(array,allow_pickle=True)
stacked_x = np.concatenate([x,x,x],1)
stacked_x.shape
print(x)
but I got:
and when I use this code :
x = np.load(array.tobytes(),allow_pickle=True)
I got:
so, any suggestion to solve this, precisely to convert .jpg to .npy?
Look at what your code does:
In [57]: np.asarray('image.JPG')
Out[57]: array('image.JPG', dtype='<U9')
In [58]: np.asarray('image.JPG').tobytes()
Out[58]: b'i\x00\x00\x00m\x00\x00\x00a\x00\x00\x00g\x00\x00\x00e\x00\x00\x00.\x00\x00\x00J\x00\x00\x00P\x00\x00\x00G\x00\x00\x00'
That's just playing with the string. It's not doing anything with a file named "image.JPG". You need to use some sort of image processing package to first load the file, converting it from the compressed format to a 3d array.
np.load is used to load a file that was created by np.save('file.npy'). It doesn't make sense to give that array variable as the file name. It won't load a jpg file.
np.load('file.npy',allow_pickle=True)
I am trying to do a basic colour conversion in python however I can't seem to get past the below error. I have re-installed python, opencv and tried on both python 3.4.3 (latest) and python 2.7 (which is on my Mac).
I installed opencv using python's package manager opencv-python.
Here is the code that fails:
frame = cv2.imread('frames/frame%d.tiff' % count)
frame_HSV= cv2.cvtColor(frame,cv2.COLOR_RGB2HSV)
This is the error message:
cv2.error: OpenCV(3.4.3) /Users/travis/build/skvark/opencv-python/opencv/modules/imgproc/src/color.cpp:181: error: (-215:Assertion failed) !_src.empty() in function 'cvtColor'
This error happened because the image didn't load properly. So you have a problem with the previous line cv2.imread. My suggestion is :
check if the image exists in the path you give
check if the count variable has a valid number
If anyone is experiencing this same problem when reading a frame from a webcam:
Verify if your webcam is being used on another task and close it. This wil solve the problem.
I spent some time with this error when I realized my camera was online in a google hangouts group. Also, Make sure your webcam drivers are up to date
I kept getting this error too:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "face_detector.py", line 6, in <module>
gray_img=cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
cv2.error: OpenCV(4.1.0) C:\projects\opencv-python\opencv\modules\imgproc\src\color.cpp:182: error: (-215:Assertion failed) !_src.empty() in function 'cv::cvtColor
My cv2.cvtColor(...) was working fine with \photo.jpg but not with \news.jpg. For me, I finally realized that when working on Windows with python, those escape characters will get you every time!! So my "bad" photo was being escaped because of the file name beginning with "n". Python took the \n as an escape character and OpenCV couldn't find the file!
Solution:
Preface file names in Windows python with r"...\...\" as in
cv2.imread(r".\images\news.jpg")
If the path is correct and the name of the image is OK, but you are still getting the error
use:
from skimage import io
img = io.imread(file_path)
instead of:
cv2.imread(file_path)
The function imread loads an image from the specified file and returns
it. If the image cannot be read (because of missing file, improper permissions, unsupported or invalid format), the function returns an empty matrix ( Mat::data==NULL ).
check if the image exists in the path and verify the image extension (.jpg or .png)
Check whether its the jpg, png, bmp file that you are providing and write the extension accordingly.
Another thing which might be causing this is a 'weird' symbol in your file and directory names. All umlaut (äöå) and other (éóâ etc) characters should be removed from the file and folder names. I've had this same issue sometimes because of these characters.
Most probably there is an error in loading the image, try checking directory again.
Print the image to confirm if it actually loaded or not
In my case, the image was incorrectly named. Check if the image exists and try
import numpy as np
import cv2
img = cv2.imread('image.png', 0)
cv2.imshow('image', img)
I've been in same situation as well, and My case was because of the Korean letter in the path...
After I remove Korean letters from the folder name, it works.
OR put
[#-*- coding:utf-8 -*-]
(except [ ] at the edge)
or something like that in the first line to make python understand Korean or your language or etc.
then it will work even if there is some Koreans in the path in my case.
So the things is, it seems like there is something about path or the letter.
People who answered are saying similar things. Hope you guys solve it!
I had the same problem and it turned out that my image names included special characters (e.g. château.jpg), which could not bet handled by cv2.imread. My solution was to make a temporary copy of the file, renaming it e.g. temp.jpg, which could be loaded by cv2.imread without any problems.
Note: I did not check the performance of shutil.copy2 vice versa other options. So probably there is a better/faster solution to make a temporary copy.
import shutil, sys, os, dlib, glob, cv2
for f in glob.glob(os.path.join(myfolder_path, "*.jpg")):
shutil.copy2(f, myfolder_path + 'temp.jpg')
img = cv2.imread(myfolder_path + 'temp.jpg')
img = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
os.remove(myfolder_path + 'temp.jpg')
If there are only few files with special characters, renaming can also be done as an exeption, e.g.
for f in glob.glob(os.path.join(myfolder_path, "*.jpg")):
try:
img = cv2.imread(f)
img = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
except:
shutil.copy2(f, myfolder_path + 'temp.jpg')
img = cv2.imread(myfolder_path + 'temp.jpg')
img = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
os.remove(myfolder_path + 'temp.jpg')
In my case it was a permission issue. I had to:
chmod a+wrx the image,
then it worked.
must please see guys that the error is in the cv2.imread() .Give the right path of the image. and firstly, see if your system loads the image or not. this can be checked first by simple load of image using cv2.imread().
after that ,see this code for the face detection
import numpy as np
import cv2
cascPath = "/Users/mayurgupta/opt/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site- packages/cv2/data/haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml"
eyePath = "/Users/mayurgupta/opt/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/cv2/data/haarcascade_eye.xml"
smilePath = "/Users/mayurgupta/opt/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/cv2/data/haarcascade_smile.xml"
face_cascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier(cascPath)
eye_cascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier(eyePath)
smile_cascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier(smilePath)
img = cv2.imread('WhatsApp Image 2020-04-04 at 8.43.18 PM.jpeg')
gray = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
faces = face_cascade.detectMultiScale(gray, 1.3, 5)
for (x,y,w,h) in faces:
img = cv2.rectangle(img,(x,y),(x+w,y+h),(255,0,0),2)
roi_gray = gray[y:y+h, x:x+w]
roi_color = img[y:y+h, x:x+w]
eyes = eye_cascade.detectMultiScale(roi_gray)
for (ex,ey,ew,eh) in eyes:
cv2.rectangle(roi_color,(ex,ey),(ex+ew,ey+eh),(0,255,0),2)
cv2.imshow('img',img)
cv2.waitKey(0)
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
Here, cascPath ,eyePath ,smilePath should have the right actual path that's picked up from lib/python3.7/site-packages/cv2/data here this path should be to picked up the haarcascade files
Your code can't find the figure or the name of your figure named the by error message.
Solution:
import cv2
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
img=cv2.imread('哈哈.jpg')#solution:img=cv2.imread('haha.jpg')
print(img)
If anyone is experiencing this same problem when reading a frame from a webcam [with code similar to "frame = cv2.VideoCapture(0)"] and work in Jupyter Notebook, you may try:
ensure previously tried code is not running already and restart Jupyter Notebook kernel
SEPARATE code "frame = cv2.VideoCapture(0)" in separate cell on place where it is [previous code put in cell above, code under put to cell down]
then run all the code above cell where is "frame = cv2.VideoCapture(0)"
then try run next cell with its only code "frame = cv2.VideoCapture(0)" - AND - till you will continue in executing other cells - ENSURE - that ASTERIX on the left side of this particular cell DISAPEAR and command order number appear instead - only then continue
now you can try execute the rest of your code as your camera input should not be empty anymore :-)
After end, ensure you close all your program and restart kernel to prepare it for another run
As #shaked litbak , this error arised with my initial use with the ASCII-generator , as i naively thought i just had to add to the ./data directory , with its load automatically .
I had to append the --input option with the desired file path .
I checked my image file path and it was correct. I made sure there was no corrupt images.The problem was with my mac. It sometimes have a hidden file called .DS_Store which was saved together with the image file path. Therefore cv2 was having a problem with that file.So I solved the problem by deleting .DS_Store
I also encountered this type of error:
error: OpenCV(4.1.2) /io/opencv/modules/imgproc/src/color.cpp:182: error: (-215:Assertion failed) !_src.empty() in function 'cvtColor'
The solution was to load the image properly. Since the file mentioned was wrong, images were not loaded and hence it threw this error. You can check the path of the image or if uploading an image through colab or drive, make sure that the image is present in the drive.
I encounter the problem when I try to load the image from non-ASCII path.
If I simply use imread to load the image, I am only able to get None.
Here is my solution:
import cv2
import numpy as np
path = r'D:\map\上海地图\abc.png'
image = cv2.imdecode(np.fromfile(path, dtype=np.uint8), cv2.IMREAD_UNCHANGED)
Similar thing will happen when I save the image in a non-ASCII path. It will not be successfully saved without any warnings. And here is what I did.
import cv2
import numpy as np
path = r'D:\map\上海地图\abc.png'
cv2.imencode('.png', image)[1].tofile(path)
path = os.path.join(raw_folder, folder, file)
print('[DEBUG] path:', path)
img = cv2.imread(path) #read path Image
if img is None: # check if the image exists in the path you give
print('Wrong path:', path)
else: # It completes the steps
img = cv2.resize(img, dsize=(128,128))
pixels.append(img)
The solution os to ad './' before the name of image before reading it...
Just Try Degrading the OpenCV
in python Shell (in cmd)
>>> import cv2
>>> cv2.__version__
after Checking in cmd
pip uninstall opencv-python
after uninstalling the version of opencv install
pip install opencv-python==3.4.8.29
