I wrote the following code to resize images in a folder to 100*100 and save the images in the same folder using for loop.I am wondering why it isn't working.
The following is the code I have written:
import cv2
import glob
images=glob.glob("*.jpg")
for image in images:
img=cv2.imread(image,0)
re=cv2.resize(img,(100,100))
cv2.imshow("Hey",re)
cv2.waitKey(500)
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
cv2.imwrite("resized_"+image,re)
I executed this:
nsu#NSU:~/Desktop/cryptology$ python3 img2.py
I got no error:
nsu#NSU:~/Desktop/cryptology$ python3 img2.py
nsu#NSU:~/Desktop/cryptology$
But the folder where i have saved the images and code is as it is...
what should i do?
**A viewer posted an answer which resulted the same.
**The problem MAY not be with the code.
**Please consider this
If you like you can use very robust module of python called Pillow for image manipulation, so first do pip3 install pillow
then run this code
from PIL import Image
import glob
images=glob.glob("*.jpg")
for im in images:
# print(im)
img = Image.open(im)
img = img.resize((100, 100), Image.ANTIALIAS)
img.save(im+'_resized.jpg')
hope it helps ... you need to improve the code if you want to keep the aspect ratio of the image
I am learning OpenCV through Python v3.8.5 since last few days, got stuck in CascadeClassifier on Facedetection. Following the same code as the tutor : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LopYA64KmdE Timestamp: 08:40
I have the image and haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml files in the resources folder
Still, I don't get any output for this below code. I tried changing images files too but still no output. When I tried printing it print till 'foo1'. So I suspect the issue is around detectMultiScale() method.
Here is my code:
import cv2
face_cascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier('resources\haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml')
# img = cv2.imread('resources\\lena.jpg')
# img = cv2.imread('D:\photos\house\DSCF2736 copy.jpg')
img = cv2.imread('resources\\messi5.jpg')
gray = cv2.cvtColor(img,cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
print('foo1')
faces = face_cascade.detectMultiScale(gray,1.1,4)
print('foo2')
for (x,y,w,h) in faces:
cv2.rectangle(img,(x,y),(x+h,y+w),(0,255,0),2)
cv2.imshow('out',img)
cv2.waitKey(0)
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
I am using Windows7 32 bit PC. Is this due to OS support issue? Please let me know the solution.
Thanks
I guess you should write [x,y,w,h,] or (x,y,w,h) instead of x,y,w,h in the for loop because the given detectMultiScale function generates a list containing multiple [x,y,w,h] elements for every face and lists can be stored only in lists objects or tuples.
It's in the resources folder, but is the current working directory properly set relative to the calling script. There's a common issue when the path to this xml file is not properly set for one or another reason - try with absolute path or copy it in the folder with the script and calling from command line in that folder.

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
I am trying to detect bangla character from image using python, so i decided to use pytesseract. For this purpose i have used below code:
import pytesseract
from PIL import Image, ImageEnhance, ImageFilter
im = Image.open("input.png") # the second one
im = im.filter(ImageFilter.MedianFilter())
enhancer = ImageEnhance.Contrast(im)
im = enhancer.enhance(2)
im = im.convert('1')
im.save('temp2.png')
pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = 'C:/Program Files (x86)/Tesseract-OCR/tesseract'
text = pytesseract.image_to_string(Image.open('temp2.png'),lang="ben")
print text
The problem is that if i gave a image of english character is detects. But when i am writing lang="ben" and detecting from image of bengali characters my code is running for endless time or like forever.
P.S: I have downloaded bengali language train data to tessdata folder and i am trying to run it in PyCharm.
Can anyone help me to solve this problem?
sample of input.png
I added Bangla(india) language to Windows. Downloaded ben.traineddata to TESSDATA_PREFIX which equals to C:\Program Files\Tesseract 4.0.0\tessdata in my PC. Then run,
> tesseract -l ben bangla.jpg bangla_out
in command prompt and got the result below in 2 seconds. The result looks fine even I don't understand the language.
Have you tried to run tesseract in command prompt to verify if it works for -l ben?
EDIT:
Used Spyder, similar to PyCharm, which comes with Anaconda to test
it. Modified your code to call Tesseract as below.
pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = "C:/Program Files/Tesseract 4.0.0/tesseract.exe"
Test Code in Spyder:
import pytesseract
from PIL import Image, ImageEnhance, ImageFilter
import os
im = Image.open("bangla.jpg") # the second one
im = im.filter(ImageFilter.MedianFilter())
enhancer = ImageEnhance.Contrast(im)
im = enhancer.enhance(2)
im = im.convert('1')
im.save("bangla_pp.jpg")
pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = "C:/Program Files/Tesseract 4.0.0/tesseract.exe"
text = pytesseract.image_to_string(Image.open("bangla_pp.jpg"),lang="ben")
print text
It works and produced result below on the processed image. Apparently, the OCR result of the processed image is not as good as the original one.
Result from the processed bangla_pp.jpg:
প্রত্যাবর্তনকারীরা
তাঁদের দেশে গিয়ে
-~~-<~~~~--
প্রত্যাবর্তন-পরবর্তী
আর্থিক সহায়তা
= পাবেন তার
Result from original image, directly feed to Tesseract.
Code:
from PIL import Image
import pytesseract as tess
print tess.image_to_string(Image.open('bangla.jpg'), lang='ben')
Output:
প্রত্যাবর্তনকারীরা
তাঁদের দেশে গিয়ে
প্রত্যাবর্তন-পরবর্তী
আর্থিক সহায়তা
পাবেন তার
I have installed some fonts in windows from here
https://www.omicronlab.com/bangla-fonts.html
After that, it worked perfectly fine for me in Pycharm.
