How to display image from current working directory in Python

Question

I would like to display an image using multiple label in a GUI(Qt Designer). The image file should be grab from current working directory and display on it own label upon user press Push Button.

Image can be displayed in label_2 when i hardcoded the image directory path but not for label_1.

  def capture_image(self):

    cam = cv2.VideoCapture(0)

    print('Execute_captureImage')

    i = 1
    while i <= int(self.qty_selected):
        # while i < 2:
        ret, frame = cam.read()
        cv2.imshow('Please review image before capture', frame)

        if not ret:
            break
        k = cv2.waitKey(1)

        if k % 256 == 27:
            # ESC pressed
            print("Escape hit, closing...")
            break
        if k % 256 == 32:
            # SPACE pressed
            self.img_name = self.lotId + '_{}.jpeg'.format(i)
            path = 'c:\\Users\\Desktop\\Python\\Testing' + '\\' + self.lotId + '\\' + self.img_name
            print('CurrentImage = ' + path)

            if not os.path.exists(path):
                print('Not yet exist')
                cv2.imwrite(
                    os.path.join('c:\\Users\\Desktop\\Python\\Testing' + '\\' + self.lotId,
                                 self.img_name),
                    frame)
                print("{}".format(self.img_name))
                # i += 1
                break

            else:
                print('Image already exist')
                i += 1

    cam.release()
    cv2.destroyAllWindows()



  def display_image(self):

       label_vid01 = 'c:\\Users\\Desktop\\Python\\Testing' + '\\' + self.lotId + '\\' + self.img_name
       label_vid02 = 'c:\\Users\\Desktop\\Python\\Testing' + '\\' + self.lotId + '\\' + self.img_name
       # label_vid03 = 'c:/Users/Desktop/Python/Image/image3.jpg'
       self.label_vid01.setScaledContents(True)
       self.label_vid02.setScaledContents(True)
       self.label_vid03.setScaledContents(True)
       self.label_vid01.setPixmap(QtGui.QPixmap(label_vid01))
       self.label_vid02.setPixmap(QtGui.QPixmap(label_vid02))
       print(repr(label_vid01))
       print(os.path.exists(label_vid01))

May i know where is the mistake?

'self.lotId' is input text based on user input.

label snapshot

The demo script below works for me on Windows XP. If this also works for you, the problem must be in the capture_image function in your example (which I cannot test at the moment).

import sys, os
from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui

class Window(QtGui.QWidget):
    def __init__(self):
        super(Window, self).__init__()
        layout = QtGui.QVBoxLayout(self)
        self.viewer = QtGui.QListWidget(self)
        self.viewer.setViewMode(QtGui.QListView.IconMode)
        self.viewer.setIconSize(QtCore.QSize(256, 256))
        self.viewer.setResizeMode(QtGui.QListView.Adjust)
        self.viewer.setSpacing(10)
        self.button = QtGui.QPushButton('Test', self)
        self.button.clicked.connect(self.handleButton)
        self.edit = QtGui.QLineEdit(self)
        layout.addWidget(self.viewer)
        layout.addWidget(self.edit)
        layout.addWidget(self.button)

    def handleButton(self):
        self.viewer.clear()
        name = self.edit.text()
        for index in range(3):
            pixmap = QtGui.QPixmap()
            path = r'E:\Python\Testing\%s\%s_%d.jpg' % (name, name, index + 1)
            print('load (%s) %r' % (pixmap.load(path), path))
            item = QtGui.QListWidgetItem(os.path.basename(path))
            item.setIcon(QtGui.QIcon(path))
            self.viewer.addItem(item)

if __name__ == '__main__':

    app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
    window = Window()
    window.setGeometry(800, 150, 650, 500)
    window.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())
