Hello I have been trying to import an image from desktop to the jupyter notebook using opencv. I am getting the following error message at the end Image data of dtype object cannot be converted to float . My code is as follows:
import cv2 as cv
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
im = cv.imread("dog.jpg")
im_1 = cv.cvtColor(im,cv.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
error Traceback (most recent call last) in ----> 1 im_1 = cv.cvtColor(im,cv.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
error: OpenCV(4.5.3) C:\Users\runneradmin\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-req-build-_xlv4eex\opencv\modules\imgproc\src\color.cpp:182: error: (-215:Assertion failed) !_src.empty() in function 'cv::cvtColor'
plt.imshow(im)

Please if someone could help. Thanks in advance
