error OpenCV 4 2 0 C projects opencv-python opencv modules objdetect src cascadedetect cpp 1689 error -215 Assertion failed empty in function cv CascadeClassifier detectMultiScale

Question

I am trying to use harrcasecade model to detect my face but I am getting this below error.

error: OpenCV(4.2.0) C:\projects\opencv-python\opencv\modules\objdetect\src\cascadedetect.cpp:1689: error: (-215:Assertion failed) !empty() in function 'cv::CascadeClassifier::detectMultiScale'

How can I solve this error?

Hi@akhtar,

This looks as if you don't load the classifier successfully from the file. Make sure you have harrcasecade file in your folder and read that file first and then try to train your model.

Hope this will work.
