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 am having OpenCV version 3.4.3 on MacOS. I was getting the same error as above.

I changed my code from

frame = cv2.resize(frame, (0,0), fx=0.5, fy=0.5)   

to

frame = cv2.resize(frame, None, fx=0.5, fy=0.5)    

Now its working fine for me.
