Hi everybody. I am new to OpenCV, I was following the material here link text Here is my code

#include "opencv2/opencv.hpp"
#include "opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp"
 #include <iostream>

using namespace cv;
using namespace std;
int main( int argc, char** argv )
{
 char* imageName = argv[1];

 Mat image;

 image = cvLoadImage("D:\\b.png",1);
 if( argc != 2  )
 {
     cout <<  "Could not open or find the image" << std::endl ;


   return -1;
 }

 Mat gray_image;
 cvtColor( image, gray_image, CV_BGR2GRAY );

 imwrite( "D:\\C++\\output.jpg", gray_image);

 namedWindow( imageName, CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE );
 namedWindow( "Gray image", CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE );

 imshow( imageName, image );
 imshow( "Gray image", gray_image );



 return 0;
}

Everything is working, I open a png image, convert it to gray scale and save it to a jpg image. It functions well, however, this error appear:

Could not open or find the image

RUN FAILED (exit value -1, total time: 1s)

I am using Netbean 7.4 on windows 8.1 64 bit.

Strange is that the image is successfully processed and saved, but not display and the error appears.

try not to mix the old c api and the c++ api, use image = imread("D:\b.png",1);

instead.

and then, replace

 if ( argc != 2  ) // you'll facepalm, if you understand, what is actually checked here...

with

if ( image.empty() )

what does this line for?

char* imageName = argv[1];

then, for cvLoadImage() function, why don't you just pass the second argument of progrm calls? (the argv[1]?

Have you try hard debugging? Examining line by line?

It debugged successfully. Build in was nice. Just that annoying error. What else should I do, please?

p.s: char* imageName =argv[1] was to take the name of the image. What do you mean by pass the second argument? I do not get it clearly, Do you mind please give some more explanation?

as seen in your code, you use the var "imageName" as window name, not for the image source. Maybe you could try cvLoadImage(argv[1], 1). If the problem persist, i guess this out of my current understanding.

I found the problem. It is not related to the code, the code is all right. Just my image. The image suppose to be RGB image and in my case it is not. I changed it to several other different ones and it is o.k.

Thanks for your attention
