cv2.error: OpenCV(4.5.2) 👎 error: (-5:Bad argument) in function 'rectangle'

Overload resolution failed:

• Can't parse 'pt1'. Sequence item with index 0 has a wrong type
• Can't parse 'pt1'. Sequence item with index 0 has a wrong type
• Can't parse 'rec'. Expected sequence length 4, got 2
• Can't parse 'rec'. Expected sequence length 4, got 2

I am getting this error when I ran the detect.py file for testing. There is some error in the cv2.rectangle().
If anyone knows help me.

this is because cv2.rectangle(). only take int ,u can copy my write(x, results) below

def write(x, results):
    c1 = tuple(x[1:3].int())
    c2 = tuple(x[3:5].int())
    d1=(int(c1[0]), int(c1[1]))
    d2=(int(c2[0]), int(c2[1]))
    img = results[int(x[0])]
    cls = int(x[-1])
    color = random.choice(colors)
    label = "{0}".format(classes[cls])
    cv2.rectangle(img, d1, d2, color, 1)
    t_size = cv2.getTextSize(label, cv2.FONT_HERSHEY_PLAIN, 1, 1)[0]
    c2 = c1[0] + t_size[0] + 3, c1[1] + t_size[1] + 4
    cv2.rectangle(img, d1, d2, color, -1)
    cv2.putText(img, label, (int(c1[0]), int(c1[1] + t_size[1] + 4)),
                cv2.FONT_HERSHEY_PLAIN, 1, [225, 255, 255], 1)
    return img

Got the same problem and applied @EZ4BRUCE suggestion. The program runs smoothly, but the output image is a bit strange, the detected bounding boxes are no longer boxes, they become some pure colour rectangles.

Here is the det image I have now:

I'm still digging in this issue, will update if I found the solution.

Update:
The 5th parameter of cv2.rectangle is thickness, according to OpenCV documentation, negative values, like FILLED, mean that the function has to draw a filled rectangle. The bug is caused by the second cv2.rectangle call, which intends to draw a small filled rectangle only for the label text. The right bottom coordinate of the filled rectangle is not updated.

Here is the modified (and should be bug-free) code:

def write(x, results):
    c1 = tuple(x[1:3].int())
    c2 = tuple(x[3:5].int())
    d1 = (int(c1[0]), int(c1[1]))
    d2 = (int(c2[0]), int(c2[1]))
    img = results[int(x[0])]
    cls = int(x[-1])
    color = random.choice(colors)
    label = "{0}".format(classes[cls])
    cv2.rectangle(img, d1, d2, color, 1)
    t_size = cv2.getTextSize(label, cv2.FONT_HERSHEY_PLAIN, 1, 1)[0]
    c2 = c1[0] + t_size[0] + 3, c1[1] + t_size[1] + 4
    d2 = (int(c2[0]), int(c2[1]))
    cv2.rectangle(img, d1, d2, color, -1)
    cv2.putText(img, label, (int(c1[0]), int(c1[1] + t_size[1] + 4)), cv2.FONT_HERSHEY_PLAIN, 1, [225, 255, 255], 1)
    return img

You can change c1,c2 from tensor to int type,such as

c1 = (int(c1[0].item()), int(c1[1].item()))
c2 = (int(c2[0].item()), int(c2[1].item()))

Therefore, the whole function is

def write(x, results):
    c1 = tuple(x[1:3].int())
    c2 = tuple(x[3:5].int())

    # 将c1和c2的值转换为整数类型
    c1 = (int(c1[0].item()), int(c1[1].item()))
    c2 = (int(c2[0].item()), int(c2[1].item()))

    img = results[int(x[0])]
    cls = int(x[-1])
    color = random.choice(colors)
    label = "{0}".format(classes[cls])
    cv2.rectangle(img, c1, c2, color, 2)
    t_size = cv2.getTextSize(label, cv2.FONT_HERSHEY_PLAIN, 1 , 1)[0]
    c2 = c1[0] + t_size[0] + 3, c1[1] + t_size[1] + 4
    cv2.rectangle(img, c1, c2,color, -1)
    cv2.putText(img, label, (c1[0], c1[1] + t_size[1] + 4), cv2.FONT_HERSHEY_PLAIN, 1, [225,255,255], 1);
    return img
