# When everything done, release the capture
cap.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

Ok thank you

Why is this error? Please help

error Traceback (most recent call last)
in

error: OpenCV(4.4.0) C:\Users\appveyor\AppData\Local\Temp\1\pip-req-build-q0nmoxxv\opencv\modules\objdetect\src\cascadedetect.cpp:1689: error: (-215:Assertion failed) !empty() in function 'cv::CascadeClassifier::detectMultiScale'

Hi @Rasika-Gulhane the problem is the path for the haar cascades double check if it's correct, or use this new syntax

face_cascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier(cv2.data.haarcascades + "haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml")
eye_cascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier(cv2.data.haarcascades + "haarcascade_eye.xml")

Yes, working now. Thanks!

practica $ python guardardatos.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

hi @Mariela1817 maybe you can try this

pip install opencv-contrib-python

hi i am getting this error:

mouth = mouth_cascade.detectMultiScale(roi_gray)
for (mx, my, mw, mh) in mouth:
cv2.rectangle(roi_color, (mx, my), (mx + mw, my + mh), (0, 0, 0), 2)

error: OpenCV(4.3.0) C:\projects\opencv-python\opencv\modules\objdetect\src\cascadedetect.cpp:1689: error: (-215:Assertion failed) !empty() in function 'cv::CascadeClassifier::detectMultiScale'

and i have already used this code:
mouth_cascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier(cv2.data.haarcascades + 'haarcascade_mcs_mouth.xml')

but its still not working
