Hello

The following code does not work with this image : http://dl.free.fr/vahKqrTqs while it works successfully with the cow image from this page : http://docs.opencv.org/doc/tutorials/imgproc/imgtrans/laplace_operator/laplace_operator.html?highlight=laplacian

Any idea ?

cv::Mat img = cv::imread("R0010054.JPG");

if(img.empty())
{
    return -1;
}

cv::imshow("image", img);

Thanks Julien

Did you write the correct name (case sensitive)? And did you add a cv::waitKey(); after your cv::imshow() ?

Hum, sorry, I did not put the whole code, it was obvious to me that there was a waitkey at the end. Sorry for that... In fact, a window appears but it does not contain something that looks like the original image. See "capture" here : http://dl.free.fr/nAe3YDU0W

Basically like Guanta just suggested, place a waitKey command

cv::Mat img = cv::imread("C:/test/R0010054.JPG"); //it is better to use absolute paths first

if(img.empty())
{
     cout << "Image not loaded";
     return -1; //i guess this isn't throwed, add a print statement none the less
}

cv::imshow("image", img);
waitKey(0); //time added here counts in milliseconds --> needed for processing

behind the imshow. It makes sure that the draw and update function of the window are properly called before closing down the window. Place a 0 if you want the window only to close when pressing a key.

Some more tips

  • Always add debug output, it will show you where it goes wrong
  • When loading of images doesn't work, try with absolute path first, then experiment with relative paths. Sometimes a relative path isn't recognized due to faulty environment variables.

@StevenPuttemans: afaik waitKey(0) == waitKey()
