NameError: name 'self' is not defined

[john_hobbyist]

This is the code for opening .tif on a PyQT window:

import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QMainWindow
 
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
 
window = QMainWindow()
window.show()
 
def getFrame(self):
    fp = r'/home/UbuntuUser/Desktop/UAV.tif'
    self.img = cv2.imdecode(np.fromfile(fp, dtype=np.uint8), cv2.IMREAD_UNCHANGED)
    print(self.img)
 
self.getFrame()
 
# Start the event loop.
app.exec_()

Why do I get this error??

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "mycode.py", line 14, in <module>
    self.getFrame()

Because you try to call a function but you're not in a class so self is not available.. Python basics.

Because I cannot understand what to do with the 'self' I removed it and when running the code, instead of getting an image, I get a white image. Is this due to the 'self', or it is because of the rest of the code?

Hi,

From your code, at no point are you showing any image on anything.

You are loading an image mixing numpy and OpenCV.

Not here for a solution to your problem, but I advise you to watch this video

I would suggest you to learn some Python basics, like class ==> https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/self-in-python-class/
