I have an image that need to view at console at first and need to do some dehazing method. unfortunately, here i unable to upload or view the image and it saying Image data cannot be converted to float. I am getting the following error when I try running it.

import cv2 
import math 
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

def DarkChannel(im,sz):
    b,g,r = cv2.split(img)
    dc = cv2.min(cv2.min(r,g),b)
    kernel = cv2.getStructuringElement(cv2.MORPH_RECT, (sz,sz))
    dark = cv2.erode(dc,kernel)
    return dark
img = cv2.imread("C:/Users/User/Documents/sypder/img/bird.jpg", 1)
plt.imshow(img)

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.
