import cv2
camera = cv2.VideoCapture(-1)
facealg=cv2.CascadeClassifier("/home/resistablee/Documents/Projects/Python/Kameradan Yüz Tanima/haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml")
while True:
     ret, frame=camera.read()
     gray=cv2.cvtColor(frame,cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
     faces=  facealg.detectMultiScale(gray,1.3,5)
     for (x,y,w,h) in faces:
            cv2.rectangle(frame,(x,y),(x+w,y+h),(255,0,0),2 )
    cv2.imshow("deneme",gray)
    if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
            break
cap.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

This my codes.

I get the following error when I run the code:

Exception has occurred: cv2.error OpenCV(3.4.4) ../modules/imgproc/src/color.cpp:181: error: (-215:Assertion failed) !_src.empty() in function 'cvtColor' File "/home/resistablee/Documents/Projects/Python/Kameradan Yüz Tanıma/KameradanYuzTanima.py", line 6, in <module> gray=cv2.cvtColor(frame,cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY) File "/home/resistablee/Documents/Anaconda3/envs/Resistablee/lib/python3.6/runpy.py", line 85, in _run_code exec(code, run_globals) File "/home/resistablee/Documents/Anaconda3/envs/Resistablee/lib/python3.6/runpy.py", line 96, in _run_module_code mod_name, mod_spec, pkg_name, script_name) File "/home/resistablee/Documents/Anaconda3/envs/Resistablee/lib/python3.6/runpy.py", line 263, in run_path pkg_name=pkg_name, script_name=fname)

And i cant access the camera.

I think I know where the problem is.

import cv2
camera = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
facealg=cv2.CascadeClassifier("haarcascade_frontalface_alt.xml")
frame1=camera.read()
ret, frame2=camera.read()
print("frame1 value:",bool(frame1),"\nframe2 value:", bool(frame2))

Output:

frame1 value: True 
frame2 value: False

@Selman KOYAN. You are missing condition block.

While True:
frame1=camera.read()
ret, frame2=camera.read()
print("frame1 value:",bool(frame1),"\nframe2 value:", bool(frame2))

keep haar cascade file and python file on the same folder. no need to give the entire path of haar cascade file, just give name of the xml file.

in place of cap.release() [cap is not defined] you have to replace with camera.release()

i don't think cv2.VideoCapture(-1) will work replace it with cv2.VideoCapture(1) [1 for front camera and 0 for rear camera] if it is still not working use ip webcam.

@Kushal It will worked. But the path isn't accurately. The cv2.VideoCapture(1) meaning containing 2 cameras.The cv2.VideoCapture(0) contained 1 camera.

My problem is still going on. I think the problem will be because I use Deepin. I don't think he's allowed to access the camera. What are your thoughts?

Why camera.read() output value fale/none?

Selman KOYAN ( 2019-02-14 16:56:08 -0600 )edit

@supra56 you are right about camera

I, actually don't understand filename containing between whitespace /Python/Kameradan Yüz Tanıma/. It should be slash instead of whitespace. Btw, camera = cv2.VideoCapture(-1) should be ok. No need to change.

Perhap, it should be like this but no whitespace "/home/resistablee/Documents/Projects/Python/KameradanYüzTanima/
