why cv2.imshow() results in error in my python compiler?

Question

Hi friends i just now installed opencv and checking the basic code but it results in error. The code is

import numpy as np
import cv2
img=cv2.imread(\'C:\\U         


        

Answer 1

It is because, python compiler cannot find the image in the place. if you copy the image in the python working directory and do this. it worked for me.

    # keep image in the current working directory
    img=cv2.imread('roi.jpg',1) 
    cv2.imshow('image',img)
