I cant open images in OpenCV

Question

I can not open my images on Jupyter suddenly anymore, do you know why?

import cv2
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
%matplotlib inline
img = cv2.imread('DATA/crossword.jpg')
img = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
plt.imshow(img)

The error message that I get

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

----> 1 img = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
      2 plt.imshow(img)

Can anyone help?

Answer 1

check your imgread path. for example: I copy file path from window.
D:\\Python tutorial\\pyc_opencv\\img\\2253.png
but got the error.

D:/Python tutorial/pyc_opencv/img/2253.png
Success.
