I'm trying to run a code that does template matching. I'm getting assertion failed error on cvtColor function.
Here is the error.
OpenCV Error: Assertion failed (scn == 3 || scn == 4) in cvtColor, file /home/travis/miniconda/conda-
bld/conda_1485299292920/work/opencv-3.2.0/modules/imgproc/src/color.cpp, line 9748
Traceback (most recent call last):

Here is the code I'm trying to run.
import cv2
import numpy as np
img_rgb = cv2.imread('template.jpg')
img_gray = cv2.cvtColor(img_rgb,cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
template = cv2.imread('opencv-template-for-matching.jpg',0)
w, h = template.shape[::-1]
res = cv2.matchTemplate(img_gray,template,cv2.TM_CCOEFF_NORMED)
threshold = 0.8
loc = np.where( res >= threshold)
for pt in zip(*loc[::-1]):
cv2.rectangle(img_rgb, pt, (pt[0] + w, pt[1] + h), (0,255,255), 2)
cv2.imshow('Detected',img_rgb)
