OpenCV resize fails on large image with “error: (-215) ssize.area() > 0 in function cv::resize”

Question

I\'m using OpenCV 3.0.0 and Python 3.4.3 to process a very large RGB image (107162,79553,3). While I\'m trying to resize it using the following code:

import         


        

Answer 1

I know this is a very old thread but I had the same problem which was due spaces in the images names.

e.g.

Image name: "hello o.jpg"

weirdly, by removing the spaces the function worked just fine.

Image name: "hello_o.jpg"
