cv2.error: OpenCV(4.10.0) 👎 error: (-5:Bad argument) in function 'imread'

Overload resolution failed:

• Argument 'flags' is required to be an integer
• dst is not a numpy array, neither a scalar
• Expected Ptrcv::UMat for argument 'dst'

The error speaks for it self:

Specific Error Message

• OpenCV Error: cv2.error: OpenCV(4.10.0) error: (-5:Bad argument) in function 'imread'
  • Bad Argument: This indicates that the argument passed to cv2.imread is not valid.

Common Causes

• Invalid File Path: The image_path passed to cv2.imread might be incorrect or the file does not exist. cv2.imread returns None if the image path is invalid.
• Incorrect Data Type: The image_path should be a string representing the path to the image file.
• File Access Issues: There might be permission issues preventing the file from being read.
• Unsupported File Format: The image format might not be supported by OpenCV.

So, check if what file you try to read with openCV and try to investigate this specific file
