Unrecognized or unsupported array type in function cvGetMat in Python openCV

[Rajatb92]

Hello,

I am getting the below error, when i am running my code. Please help me on this.

error:

OpenCV Error: Bad flag (parameter or structure field) (Unrecognized or unsupported array type) in cvGetMat, file /build/opencv-SviWsf/opencv-2.4.9.1+dfsg/modules/core/src/array.cpp, line 2482

cv2.error: /build/opencv-SviWsf/opencv-2.4.9.1+dfsg/modules/core/src/array.cpp:2482: error: (-206) Unrecognized or unsupported array type in function cvGetMat

code:

video_cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)

while True:
    ret, frame = video_cap.read()
    frame = cv2.resize(frame, (0,0), fx=0.5, fy=0.5)
    gray = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)

    faces = face_cascade.detectMultiScale(gray, 1.05, 6)
    for face in faces:
        x, y, w, h = face
        face_region = gray[y:y+h, x:x+w]

        predicted_person_number, confidence = face_recognition.predict(face_region)

        cv2.rectangle(frame, (x,y), (x+w,y+h), (0,255,0), 2)
        if predicted_person_number == 16:
            cv2.putText(frame, 'RB', (x,y), cv2.FONT_HERSHEY_TRIPLEX, 1, (255,255,255))
        else:
            cv2.putText(frame, str(predicted_person_number), (x,y), cv2.FONT_HERSHEY_TRIPLEX, 1, (255,255,255))

    cv2.imshow('Running face recognition...', frame)

    if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'): break

video_cap.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
