I am trying to detect the face from the webcam using opencv python on ubuntu. I got this online code and tried running this program and I am getting the as NULL array pointer is passed, I guess it is not able to capture the video from webcam but with the same code(only capture camera) I got the camera on and it captured the video. Here is my code:
import cv
from opencv import highgui
HAAR_CASCADE_PATH = "/home/OpenCV-2.3.1/data/haarcascades/haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml"
CAMERA_INDEX = 0
def detect_faces(image):
faces = []
detected = cv.HaarDetectObjects(image, cascade, storage, 1.2, 2, cv.CV_HAAR_DO_CANNY_PRUNING, (100,100))
if detected:
for (x,y,w,h),n in detected:
faces.append((x,y,w,h))
return faces
if __name__ == "__main__":
cv.NamedWindow("Video", cv.CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE)
capture = cv.CaptureFromCAM(0)
storage = cv.CreateMemStorage()
cascade = cv.Load(HAAR_CASCADE_PATH)
print cascade
faces = []
i = 0
c = -1
while (c == -1):
image = cv.QueryFrame(capture)
# Only run the Detection algorithm every 5 frames to improve performance
#if i%5==0:
faces = detect_faces(image)
#print image
for (x,y,w,h) in faces:
cv.Rectangle(image, (x,y), (x+w,y+h), 255)
cv.ShowImage("w1", image)
i += 1
And Error I am getting is:
Traceback (most recent call last):
