How to save image in a folder with openCV

Question

I'm learning OpenCV and Python. I captured some images from my webcam and saved them. But they are saved by default into the local folder. I want to save them to another folder from direct path. How can I do that?

I tried this code

import cv2
import os
img = cv2.imread('image.jpg', 1)
path = 'C:\\Users\MJ-INFO\Desktop\amaster\test'


cv2.imwrite('test.jpg', img)
cv2.waitKey(0)
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

Answer 1

Kindly look at the following code and see the commented out changes:

import cv2
import os
img = cv2.imread('image.jpg', 1)
path = r'C:\\Users\MJ-INFO\Desktop\amaster\test' #use r here as in windows sometimes there is a Unicode problem


cv2.imwrite(path, img) #use path here
cv2.waitKey(0)
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

Answer 2

如以上注释中所述，更改此行cv2.imwrite（path +'\\ test.jpg'，img）
