OpenCV Error: (-215)size.width>0 && size.height>0 in function imshow

Question

I am trying to make a face tracker that combines Haar Cascade Classification with Lucas Kanade good feature detection. However, I keep getting an error that I cannot figure

Answer 1

I had this problem.

Solution: Update the path of the image.

If the path contains (for example: \n or \t or \a) it adds to the corruption. Therefore, change every back-slash "\" with front-slash "/" and it will not make create error but fix the issue of reading path.

Also double check the file path/name. any typo in the name or path also gives the same error.
