Hi Guys,

I am trying to click my photo using cv2 module. So that I can create face recognition program. But it shows me the below error.

 File "<ipython-input-5-49e205a6723c>", line 8
    file_name_path = 'C:\Users\ Akhter\Desktop\mlops-ws\Adv CNN\Transfer Learning _ Fine Tuning\nadeem\image' + str(count) + '.jpg'
                    ^
SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 2-3: truncated \UXXXXXXXX escape

How can I solve this error?

Hi@akhtar,

In your file_name_path you have to give / instead of \. Otherwise you can add r before your path name as given below. 

file_name_path = 'C:/Users/ Akhter/Desktop/mlops-ws/Adv CNN/Transfer Learning _ Fine Tuning/nadeem/image' + str(count) + '.jpg

file_name_path = r'C:\Users\ Akhter\Desktop\mlops-ws\Adv CNN\Transfer Learning _ Fine Tuning\nadeem\image' + str(count) + '.jpg

Hope this will solve your error.
