Process finished with exit code 134 (interrupted by signal 6: SIGABRT) in Python and OpenCV
Consider:
import numpy as np
import cv2
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
while(True):
# Capture frame-by-frame
ret, frame = cap.read()
# Our operations on the frame come here
gray = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
# Display the resulting frame
cv2.imshow('frame',gray)
if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
break
# When everything done, release the capture
cap.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
I'm using Python and OpenCV in the PyCharm IDE. When I try to open the webcam using OpenCV, it gives the following error:
Process finished with exit code 134 (interrupted by signal 6: SIGABRT)
Is this happening because I'm running out of memory? What are the solutions for this?
I'm using PyCharm on MacBook Pro (OS: macOS v10.14 (Mojave)).
- Open /Applications/PyCharm.app/Contents/info.plist,
-
Insert a new line:
- Key: Privacy - Camera Usage
- Type: String
- Value: An application in PyCharm wants to use the camera.
Save it.
- Reopen PyCharm.
- Run your code.
I have opened an issue at JetBrains because of this. But here is a workaround:
Run PyCharm or IntelliJ IDEA (whatever JetBrains application) from an application which already has been approved for camera access. For example, I use the Hyper terminal to run the IDE and everything works.
