@markjay4k Can you look into this? Having the same issue here.
So basically when I am annotating images I get several of the images annotated but after that I run into this issue for the next upcoming image that needs to be annotated.

Figured this out the rename function ended up creating image 00071.png as a folder instead of an image. I deleted this folder and ran the annotation script again. This solved the issue for me. What I came to understand was that this specific error is the cv2's way of telling that it can not process the image path given and the issues lies there so I suggest using the print(image.path) in your script to break down where the actual error is @ArjunCRPSM

Yeah cv2 won't throw an error when reading in an image even if an image actually isn't there. Probably why the error did appear once it went through cvtColor.
