Hello,

I'm trying to run this tutorial: http://docs.opencv.org/3.0-beta/doc/t...

with OpenCV 3.0 and I get the following error:

OpenCV Error: Assertion failed (channels() == CV_MAT_CN(dtype)) in copyTo, file /home/pmousoul/Downloads/opencv3/opencv/modules/core/src/copy.cpp, line 257
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'cv::Exception'
  what():  /home/pmousoul/Downloads/opencv3/opencv/modules/core/src/copy.cpp:257: error: (-215) channels() == CV_MAT_CN(dtype) in function copyTo

Aborted (core dumped)

Can someone please tell me what I'm I doing wrong?

edit: My OpenCV 3.0 version is: OpenCV version: 3.0.0-dev OpenCV VCS version: 3.0.0-699-gb3ac274

Thank you for your time, Cheers, Panos

I guess this is the code snippet that generated the error

/** Load a YAML file using OpenCV **/
void Model::load(const std::string path)
{
    cv::Mat points3d_mat;

    cv::FileStorage storage(path, cv::FileStorage::READ);
    storage["points_3d"] >> points3d_mat;
    storage["descriptors"] >> descriptors_;

    points3d_mat.copyTo(list_points3d_in_);

    storage.release();

}

Now the only reason why this would fail with the given exception, is that the FileStorage location is not read correctly and thus the data inside the points3d_mat are not correct.

Could you start by providing an absolute path instead of using the path variable and see if that works?

Yes you are right - it was my mistake. I did not generate properly the required input files.

Could you mark the question as solved then?

This is a question from 2016. If you want to get a decent response, open up a new question with specific details on what goes wrong on your side.
