I use vs-code on Manjaro ann I've had numerous issues with it explained in this question 👇following VS- CODE errors on manjaro, auto quit, can't open folder
I have the following code
import cv2
from random import randrange
#load data
trained_face_data = cv2.CascadeClassifier('haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml')
#Choose image
webcam = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
while True:
successful_frame_read, frame = webcam.read()
#convert to greyscale
greyscaled_img = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
#detect faces
face_coordinates = trained_face_data.detectMultiScale(greyscaled_img)
#Draw a rectangle around the Face
for (x, y, w, h) in face_coordinates:
cv2.rectangle(frame, (x,y), (x+w, y+h), (0, 255, 0, 10)
#Display the image with the faces spotted
cv2.imshow('Face detector', frame)
key = cv2.waitKey(1)
#stop if Q is pressed
if key==81 or key==113:
break
webcam.release()
print("code completed")
In the beginning, I had a syntax error at
File "Face_detector.py", line 24
cv2.imshow('Face detector', frame)
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
I commented out the line but got the same error in the next line
File "Face_detector.py", line 25
key = cv2.waitKey(1)
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
So I went ahead and commented out every sing line till the end and now I got an EOF error
File "Face_detector.py", line 33
^
SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing
I tried running the script from the terminal but still has the exact same error
Here is an image of running the uncommented code from the terminal
Here is an image of running the final commented out code from the terminal
You are missing a parentheses at this line:
#Draw a rectangle around the Face
for (x, y, w, h) in face_coordinates:
cv2.rectangle(frame, (x,y), (x+w, y+h), (0, 255, 0, 10) # <-- Missing parentheses here
