OpenCV error on Heroku but model successfully deployed

Question

I am trying to deploy a deep learning Flask app on Heroku. It is successfully deployed, but still giving me the Application Error message. I have checked the logs, but didn't find anything. Help me!

Here is my app.py -

app = Flask(__name__)
app.config['SEND_FILE_MAX_AGE_DEFAULT'] = 1

@app.route('/')
def index():
    return render_template('index.html')

@app.route('/after', methods = ['GET', 'POST'])
def after():

    global model, resnet, vocab, inv_vocab

    img = request.files['file1']
    img.save('static/file.jpg')

    print("=" * 50)
    print("IMAGE SAVED")

    
    image = cv2.imread('static/file.jpg')
    image = cv2.cvtColor(image, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
    image = cv2.resize(image, (224, 224))
    image = np.reshape(image, (1, 224, 224, 3))

    incept = resnet.predict(image).reshape(1, 2048)

    print("=" * 50)
    print("Predict Features")
    
    text_in = ['startofseq']
    final = ''
    
    count = 0
    while tqdm(count < 20):
        count += 1
        encoded = []
        for i in text_in:
            encoded.append(vocab[i])
            
        padded = pad_sequences([encoded], maxlen = 36, padding = 'post', truncating = 'post')
        sampled_index = np.argmax(model.predict([incept, padded]))
        sampled_word = inv_vocab[sampled_index]
        
        if sampled_word != 'endofseq':
            final = final + ' ' + sampled_word
        
        text_in.append(sampled_word)       
    return render_template('after.html', data = final)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(debug=True)
