OpenCV 错误：预期 Ptr<cv::umat> 对于参数“%s”</cv::umat>

Question

I am new to OpenCV, and attempting to use OpenCV for Python 3.7 to stitch five images together into one singular image. The source code I originally used only allowed for two images to be stitched together, so I had to modify it to allow five webcam images to be stitched. However, I am presented with this error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\colby\OneDrive\Desktop\New folder\photomosaic.py", line 80, in <module> img3 = cv2.drawMatches(kpsA,secondImg,kpsB,thirdImg, kpsC, forthImg, kpsD, fifthImg, kpsE, flags=cv2.DrawMatchesFlags_NOT_DRAW_SINGLE_POINTS) TypeError: Expected Ptr<cv::UMat> for argument '%s'

My Code:

The expected output:

I expect the program to be able to take five pictures with my webcam (which is imported through cameracapture ), and then stitch them together to make one image. Any advice or fixes to this error would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

 firstImg = imageio.imread('cap1.jpg')
 print(type(firstImg))

if the output is

<class 'PIL.JpegImagePlugin.JpegImageFile'>

Then covert it to an array using:-

firstImg = np.asarray(firstImg)

Load this firstImg to convert it to gray scale image
