java.lang.NullPointerException：尝试从空对象引用中的字段“ long org.opencv.core.Mat.nativeObj”读取

Question

I am new to openCV and android. I am trying to load an image from Resources using bitmap and process the image using open CV. It gave me this error:

java.lang.NullPointerException: 
Attempt to read from field 'long org.opencv.core.Mat.nativeObj' on a null object reference

Code:

    Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),R.drawable.a1);
    ((ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView)).setImageBitmap(bm);
    Mat trainImage = new Mat(bm.getHeight(),bm.getWidth(),CvType.CV_32S);
    Utils.bitmapToMat(bm,trainImage);
    if(trainImage.empty()){
        Log.e(TAG,"Empty image");
    }
    else{
        Log.e(TAG,"Image Loaded");
    }
    Imgproc.cvtColor(trainImage, trainGray, Imgproc.COLOR_RGBA2GRAY);

Here is the Exception message:

Can anyone tell me how to fix this. The image is loaded successfully and it still gives a NullPointerException .

Answer 1

I think you've not initialized the Mat trainGray . Try the following.

Mat trainGray = new Mat();
Imgproc.cvtColor(trainImage, trainGray, Imgproc.COLOR_RGBA2GRAY);
