      Hi it seems like in main() I can't access the image folder using OpenCV functions even though OpenCV libraries are linked correctly and the folder path is right. How can I fix it?

          int main(int argc, char *argv[])
          {     vector<cv::String> fn;
                cv::glob("/home/csimage/project/images/*", fn, false);
          
                vector<cv::Mat> imagesResized;
                size_t count = fn.size();
                for (size_t i=0; i<count; i++)
                  {
                    //resize images to the same size
                   cv::Mat dst;
                    cv::Mat src =cv::imread(fn[i]);
                    cv::resize(src,dst,cv::Size(20,20));
                    imagesResized.push_back(dst);
                  }
               //I GET THE FIRST ERROR HERE WHEN IT TRIES TO READ THE IMAGES
                 cv::Mat inputImage=cv::imread("/home/csimage/project/church.JPEG");
                 vector<cv::Mat> imageTiles= split(inputImage,40,40);
                 cv::Mat matchingImage;
                 vector<cv::Mat> final;
          
                   for ( int i=0;i<imageTiles.size();i++)
                        { matchingImage=comparer(imageTiles[i],imagesResized);
                         final.push_back(matchingImage);}
                         cv::Mat image_collage= imageCollage(final,40,40);
          
                            imshow("Image collage",image_collage);
                            cv::waitKey(0);
          
                  return 0;
          }4

        Hi
        Are you sure the file extension is JPEG with big letters ?

        Also you dont mention what error you get?

          @mrjj Hi, sorry I could't insert the image with the error before, actually the first error is at cv::imread(fn[i]) which tries to do the same thing, here's the photo

            So these are linker errors for the methods shown. Either you're not linking with the right library (most likely), or just possibly you're passing the wrong parameters.

              @JonB I had the problem with linking the libraries before and it's been solved, I don't have errors like 'Mat object undefined' and the paths should be fine as the same program works fine when run from a shell

                Hi
                So exact same source and .pro file can be compiled and run when compiling in shell
                but in Creator you get undefined errors?

                  @mrjj Just the c++ file with the program which is supposed to be a photo collage , not the qt part. I fixed the .pro file for one library name was spelled wrong sorry about that, and now it works but I only get an empty MainWindow

                  and the result should be this ( it's the same code)

                    What "has been solved"?

                    I don't have errors like 'Mat object undefined'

                    No, instead you have "undefined reference" at link time on some cv functions.

                    and the paths should be fine as the same program works fine when run from a shell

                    What program? The errors show that you cannot link the executable. So no "program" is being generated in this build. If you have something you linked before, you have some other (successfully-linked, maybe library search path was different, or other difference) executable elsewhere, not the one not-generated from this link.

                      @JonB check post above ( the link to the libraries is now ok and works, a library name was misspelled.) The program compiles and runs but only shows an empty window.

                      Can I do something about it?

                        Isn't there a forum for OpenCV out there? Or what is the relation to Qt here?

                        Qt has to stay free or it will die.

                          @Christian-Ehrlicher since the program works fine using just OpenCV and it doesn't work when trying to run it in QT I thought it's more likely to be a Qt problem rather than an Opencv one. Maybe there are specific things to add in the .pro file or other settings I'm not aware of since I'm new to Qt.

                            Hi
                            But the code you have shown in the first post does nothing with MainWindow ( or even has one)
                            So what is the thing that doesn't work ?
                            What should been on the MainWindow ?
                            and how did you add it ?

                              @mrjj Hi, I think those were the mainwindow.cpp and mainwindow.h files that were already there when I created the project but I didn't add anything in them so I just removed them and tried to run again and now I get this :

                              fe630f7c-b690-4597-bd37-bd5298cfedf9-image.png

                              but unfortunately I don't understand where those errors come from

                                Your code does not use any Qt class at all...

                                    Hi
                                    I wonder if you need to link additional libs
                                    besides opencv_core
                                    like opencv_imgcodecs

                                      Hi, no, I figure it out what it was , I didn't write QApplication a(argc, argv); at the beginning in the main function. Now it works fine ! Thank you anyway for trying to help.

                                        Oh so after you added that all the other errors went away ?
                                        well good it works :)
                                        happy coding
