TypeError while trying to crop images on opencv

Question

I am trying to crop images from the video but it’s not showing the result. I know that TypeError is happening because there is no content in crop crop_img but since I am a beginner in opencv so I don’t know the solution of it. Below code I copied from project which uses opencv with raspberry pi & webcam to follow the line. Now I am trying to test in on my windows 10 so maybe some interfacing issues are possible.

code:-

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import numpy as np

import cv2

video_capture = cv2.VideoCapture(-1)
video_capture.set(3, 160)
video_capture.set(4, 120)

while(True):
    # Capture the frames

    ret, frame = video_capture.read()
    #print("image recieved");
    #cv2.imshow('frame',ret)

    # Crop the image

    crop_img = frame[60:120, 0:160]


    cv2.imshow("cropped", crop_img)



    # Convert to grayscale

    gray = cv2.cvtColor(crop_img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)

    # Gaussian blur

    blur = cv2.GaussianBlur(gray,(5,5),0)

    cv2.imshow('show', blur)

    # Color thresholding

    ret,thresh = cv2.threshold(blur,60,255,cv2.THRESH_BINARY_INV)

    # Find the contours of the frame

    contours,hierarchy = cv2.findContours(thresh.copy(), 1, cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_NONE)



    # Find the biggest contour (if detected)

    if len(contours) > 0:

        c = max(contours, key=cv2.contourArea)
        M = cv2.moments(c)
        cx = int(M['m10']/M['m00'])
        cy = int(M['m01']/M['m00'])
        cv2.line(crop_img,(cx,0),(cx,720),(255,0,0),1)
        cv2.line(crop_img,(0,cy),(1280,cy),(255,0,0),1)
        cv2.drawContours(crop_img, contours, -1, (0,255,0), 1)

        if cx >= 120:
            print ("Turn Left!")

        if cx < 120 and cx > 50:
            print ("On Track!")

        if cx <= 50:
            print ("Turn Right")
        else:
            print ("I don't see the line")
    #Display the resulting frame

    cv2.imshow('frame',crop_img)
    if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
        break

TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable

There is some issue with the specifying -1 as your camera in the line

video_capture = cv2.VideoCapture(-1)

because of which your code is not able to locate the camera and so it is returning None. So try explicitly giving the camera id like this:

video_capture = cv2.VideoCapture(0)

assuming that you are working with only one camera.
