    kernel = cv2.getStructuringElement(cv2.MORPH_RECT, (sz,sz))

It seems your file path is wrong since your sample code worked perfectly for me. If you are struggling with file paths you can pass it as a raw string.

img = cv2.imread(r"C:\Users\User\Documents\sypder\img\bird.jpg", 1)

If you fix it like this, it should work. I copied the object name from properties while doing it.

Your object name should be different from the one I wrote. You should copy the file name from the settings,security, object name. Or if you don't want to bother with that just put the image file in the directory where the code is running. It should work that way.
