Hi, i am trying to work with the example from the face-detection tutorial: tutorial-link. While i do so and try to execute the examplecode in python, the following error occurs:
OpenCV Error: Assertion failed (!empty()) in detectMultiScale, file /home/julian/Downloads/opencv-3.0.0-beta/modules/objdetect/src/cascadedetect.cpp, line 1580 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/julian/PycharmProjects/PicProcessingTutorial/Face_Detection.py", line 15, in <module> faces = face_cascade.detectMultiScale(gray, 1.3, 5) cv2.error: /home/julian/Downloads/opencv-3.0.0-beta/modules/objdetect/src/cascadedetect.cpp:1580: error: (-215) !empty() in function detectMultiScale
What could be the reason for the error, how should i react to fix it? Thank you for your time and advice,
regards
jla
