OpenCV returning NULL

[momenso]

Any ideas on what may be happening here?

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "heartMonitor.py", line 530, in
Program().run()
File "heartMonitor.py", line 421, in init
self.face_detector = FaceDetector(*self.cam.get_size())
File "heartMonitor.py", line 53, in init
self.cascade = cv.Load(cascade_file)
TypeError: OpenCV returned NULL

Thank you.

you need to include the xml file in the same directory

Please help me with
ModuleNotFoundError Traceback (most recent call last)
in
----> 1 import cv

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cv'

I am using python 3, replacing cv with cv2 is also creating issues in functions like: cv.GetCaptureProperty

I'm afraid I've long forgotten which version of Open CV I was using when I wrote this; I'm afraid there's a reasonable chance that this code will need some fiddling to get working on newer versions of OpenCV. I'd welcome a PR if you manage to get it working again :).

Thanks a ton, will surely look into it
