OpenCV TypeError: Expected cv::UMat for argument 'src' - What is this?

Question

Disclaimer: huge openCV noob

Traceback (most recent call last):

File \"lanes2.py\", line 22, in

canny = canny(lane_image)         


        

Answer 1

Is canny your own function? Do you use Canny from OpenCV inside it? If yes check if you feed suitable argument for Canny - first Canny argument should meet following criteria:

• type:
• dtype: dtype('uint8')
• being single channel or simplyfing: grayscale, that is 2D array, i.e. its shape should be 2-tuple of ints (tuple containing exactly 2 integers)

You can check it by printing respectively

type(variable_name)
variable_name.dtype
variable_name.shape

Replace variable_name with name of variable you feed as first argument to Canny.
