OpenCV Error: Assertion failed

edit

Hi,

hopefully my english is good enough for describing my problem. I am working only a short time on opencv. In a little project I tried to detect the number plates from cars. The detection works very well. Only the last function in my script throws an exception.

I tried to create a new mat from the picture and the rectangle but that throws the following exception: OpenCV Error: Assertion failed (0 <= roi.x && 0 <= roi.width && roi.x + roi.width <= m.cols && 0 <= roi.y && 0 <= roi.height && roi.y + roi.height <= m.rows) in cv::Mat::Mat, file ........\opencv\modules\core\src\matrix.cpp, line 323 Exception in thread "main" CvException [org.opencv.core.CvException: cv::Exception: ........\opencv\modules\core\src\matrix.cpp:323: error: (-215) 0 <= roi.x && 0 <= roi.width && roi.x + roi.width <= m.cols && 0 <= roi.y && 0 <= roi.height && roi.y + roi.height <= m.rows in function cv::Mat::Mat

But the detection works fine. the picture shows that the script creates rectangles around them.

Could somebody help me?
