Error (-215) size.width>0 && size.height>0 occurre

问题:

I am trying to run a simple program that reads an image from OpenCV. However, I am getting this error:

error: ......\modules\highgui\src\window.cpp:281: error: (-215) size.width>0 && size.height>0 in function cv::imshow

Any idea what this error means?

Here is my code:

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import cv2

img = cv2.imread('C:\\Utilisateurs\\Zeineb\\Bureau\\image.jpg',0)
cv2.imshow('image',img)
cv2.waitKey(0)
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

回答1:

"error: (-215)" means that an assertion failed. In this case, cv::imshow asserts that the given image is non-empty: https://github.com/opencv/opencv/blob/b0209ad7f742ecc22de2944cd12c2c9fed036f2f/modules/highgui/src/window.cpp#L281

As noted in the Getting Started with Images OpenCV Python tutorial, if the file does not exist, then cv2.imread() will return None; it does not raise an exception.

Thus, the following code also results in the "(-215) size.width>0 && size.height>0" error:

img = cv2.imread('no-such-file.jpg', 0)
cv2.imshow('image', img)

Check to make sure that the file actually exists at the specified path. If it does, it might be that the image is corrupted, or is an empty image.

回答2:

import numpy as np
import cv2
img=cv2.imread('E:\itsme\Camera\pic.jpg',10)
cv2.imshow('image',img)
cv2.waitkey(0)
cv2.destroyallwindows()

just add fill the full directory of your picture in string.
