Below is my code and i am having this error : File "imgTrack.py", line 37, in <module> cv2.imshow('img2',img2) cv2.error: /home/irum/OpenCv/modules/highgui/src/window.cpp:269: error: (-215) size.width>0 && size.height>0 in function imshow

Whats there that i am missing?

import numpy as np
import cv2
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)

# take first frame of the video
ret,frame = cap.read()

# setup initial location of window
r,h,c,w = 250,90,400,125  # simply hardcoded the values
track_window = (c,r,w,h)

# set up the ROI for tracking
roi = frame[r:r+h, c:c+w]
hsv_roi =  cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2HSV)
mask = cv2.inRange(hsv_roi, np.array((0., 60.,32.)), np.array((180.,255.,255.)))
roi_hist = cv2.calcHist([hsv_roi],[0],mask,[180],[0,180])
cv2.normalize(roi_hist,roi_hist,0,255,cv2.NORM_MINMAX)

# Setup the termination criteria, either 10 iteration or move by atleast 1 pt
term_crit = ( cv2.TERM_CRITERIA_EPS | cv2.TERM_CRITERIA_COUNT, 10, 1 )

while(1):
    ret ,frame = cap.read()

    if ret == True:
        hsv = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2HSV)
        dst = cv2.calcBackProject([hsv],[0],roi_hist,[0,180],1)

        # apply meanshift to get the new location
        ret, track_window = cv2.CamShift(dst, track_window, term_crit)

        # Draw it on image
        pts = cv2.cv.BoxPoints(ret)
        pts = np.int0(pts)
        img2 = cv2.polylines(frame,[pts],True, 255,2)
        cv2.imshow('img2',img2)


        k = cv2.waitKey(60) & 0xff
        if k == 27:
            break
        else:
            cv2.imwrite(chr(k)+".jpg",img2)

    else:
        break

cv2.destroyAllWindows()
cap.release()

there are some differences between the opencv3 and opencv2.4 bindings, - with the 3.1 ones, the drawing calls like cv2.circle, cv2.rectangle or cv2.polylines return a new image , but the 2.4 versions do not

so, in your case, cv2.polylines returns None, and you're trying to imshow() an invalid/empty image.

solution:

    cv2.polylines(frame,[pts],True, 255,2)
    cv2.imshow('img2',frame) # just show the frame, you've drawn into.
