I am running the below code and getting the error. Although, I changed the path of the image and gave absolute path as well, but things are not working. Kindly help!!

import cv2
import numpy as np 
image = cv2.imread("C:\\test_image.jpg")

try:
    cv2.imshow('result', image)
    cv2.waitKey(0)

except:
    print("Here")

Comments

please ALWAYS CHECK like image==None after cv2.imread()

You should know that most languages don't like single backslashes, see https://lerner.co.il/2018/07/24/avoid...

@mvuori when you edit question there is two backslashes. unfortunately it is not visble in the question without editing it

i have same problem

@hoseinimage then please DONT answer questions here ;(

and python noobs ALWAYS have the samee problem: they NEVER check, if their image was actually loaded (YOU HAVE TO !!!!), thus their progs fail later on invalid (None) images
