Problem description
Running the above code reports the following error:
[ WARN:[email protected]] global D:\a\opencv-python\opencv-python\opencv\modules\core\src\utils\samples.cpp (61) cv::samples::findFile cv::samples::findFile('data/haarcascades/haarcascade_frontalface_alt.xml') => ''
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "E:\Pycharm\Pycharm7\facedetect.py", line 81, in <module>
main()
File "E:\Pycharm\Pycharm7\facedetect.py", line 48, in main
cascade = cv.CascadeClassifier(cv.samples.findFile(cascade_fn))
cv2.error: OpenCV(4.6.0) D:\a\opencv-python\opencv-python\opencv\modules\core\src\utils\samples.cpp:64: error: (-2:Unspecified error) OpenCV samples: Can't find required data file: data/haarcascades/haarcascade_frontalface_alt.xml in function 'cv::samples::findFile'
Cause analysis:
According to the error location:
cascade = cv.CascadeClassifier(cv.samples.findFile(cascade_fn))
It can be found that the file paths of “haarcascade_frontalface_alt.xml” and “data/haarcascades/haarcascade_eye.xml” are not correct.
Solution:
“haarcascade_frontalface_alt.xml” and “data/haarcascades/haarcascade_eye.xml” are under the cv2 package installed in python, just change the path in the code to a relative path.
The code is changed as follows:
cascade_fn = args.get('--cascade', "D:/Python/yingyong/Lib/site-packages/cv2/data/haarcascades/haarcascade_frontalface_alt.xml")
nested_fn = args.get('--nested-cascade', "D:/Python/yingyong/Lib/site-packages/cv2/data/haarcascades/haarcascade_eye.xml")
