How to fix the error : The matrix is not continuous, thus its number of rows can not be changed in function reshape

edit

I am new to Opencv and was trying out some face recognition tutorials online.

The problem is the faces detected in the images are of different sizes.So I am passing numpy arrays(of the faces detected) of same size to the EigenFaceRecognizer.But it gives the aforementioned error.Can you guys suggest how to fix it?
