OpenCV错误：使用COLOR_BGR2GRAY函数时断言失败

Question

I'm having a weird issue with opencv. I have no issues when working in a jupyter notebook but do when trying to run this Sublime.

The error is: OpenCV Error: Assertion failed (depth == CV_8U || depth == CV_16U || depth == CV_32F) in cvtColor, file /Users/jenkins/miniconda/1/x64/conda-bld/work/opencv-3.1.0/modules/imgproc/src/color.cpp, line 7935

import numpy as np 
import cv2

img = [[[150,160,170], [150,32, 199], [145, 212, 234], [145, 212, 234]], 
       [[150,190,170], [150,32, 199], [145, 212, 234], [145, 212, 234]],
       [[150,160,170], [150,32, 199], [145, 212, 234], [145, 212, 234]],
       [[150,160,170], [150,32, 199], [145, 212, 234], [145, 212, 234]]]

img = np.array(img)

def grayscale(x):
    # plt.imshow(gray, cmap='gray')to show on screen
    # turns dim from (32,32,3) to (32,32)
    return cv2.cvtColor(x, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)

img2 = grayscale(img)

Answer 1

You need to specify the data type when you create the array.

When I try this code here, and check the dtype of img , I see the following:

>>> img.dtype
dtype('int32')

That doesn't match the requirements of cv2.cvtColor .

The range of values you initialize your image with appears to fall into 0-255, which would correspond to data type uint8 .

So, just do

img = np.array(img, dtype=np.uint8)
