Python cannot find a directory-CodePudding

I wrote a code like this with jupyter notebook in a project;

import os


image_path = r'C:\Users\ays\Desktop\IR\01.jpg'
image_files = os.listdir(image_path)
img = cv2.imread(os.path.join(image_path,image_files))
cv2.imshow('image',img)

it gives an error like;

[WinError 3] The system cannot find the path specified: 'C:\Users\ays\Desktop\IR\01.jpg'

i was trying to print an image and i had a directory problem

CodePudding user response：

The argument to os.listdir() must be the directory, not the image file, so remove \01.jpg.

Then you'll need to loop over the result of os.listdir(), since it returns a list.

import os

image_path = r'C:\Users\ays\Desktop\IR'
image_files = os.listdir(image_path)
for file in image_files:
    img = cv2.imread(os.path.join(image_path,file))
    cv2.imshow('image',img)

CodePudding user response：

Your image_path seems to be a file, not a directory. Drop the file name and you should be OK:

image_path = r'C:\Users\ays\Desktop\IR'
