FileNotFoundError: [WinError 3] The system cannot find the path specified While Training Images

Question

I have tried many times but this filenotfound error still comes. I have saved the file in a folder as stated in the code but even though this error occurs. Whenever I try to run the code I get the same error, please tell me where this code needs correction.

```

    def TrainImages():
        recognizer = cv2.face_LBPHFaceRecognizer.create()
        harcascadePath = "I:\\opencv\\build\\etc\\haarcascades\\haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml"
        detector=cv2.CascadeClassifier(harcascadePath)
        Path = "I:\Attendence Project\TrainingImageLabel\Trainner.yml"
        face, Id = getImagesAndLabels(Path)                            "error line 127"
        recognizer.train(faces, np.array(Id))
        recognizer.save("TrainingImageLabel\Trainner.yml")
        res = "Image Trained"
        message.configure(text=res)

    def getImagesAndLabels(path):
        imagePaths = [os.path.join(path,f) for f in os.listdir(path)]  "error line 134"
        faces = []
        Ids = []
        for imagePath in imagePaths:
            pilImage = Image.open(imagePath).convert('L')
            imageNp = np.array(pilImage,'uint8')
            Id=int(os.path.split(imagePath)[-1].split(".")[1])
            faces.append(imageNp)
            Ids.append(Id)
        return faces, Ids

```

First of all, is it a typo? Should the file-name be "Trainer.yml" instead of "Trainner.yml"? Anyway, if it isn't that -

It looks like you're using a mapped Windows Drive for your project. Is it possible that you are running your Python IDE or the built script as a different user or an administrator account that does not have that drive mapped? This can cause that file path to not be valid and you will get this error.

Try like the following:

"\\PATH_TO_I\Attendence Project\TrainingImageLabel\Trainner.yml"

Or if the escape characters are the problem, try this:

Path = r"I:\Attendence Project\TrainingImageLabel\Trainner.yml"
