TypeError: 'cv2.face_EigenFaceRecognizer' object is not callable

Question

I ran into an error which i do not know where and what is causing it. Please i need help.

def train(self,images,lables, recogType=0):
        self.images = images
        self.lables = np.array(lables)

        'arg = recogType:[cv2.face.LBPHFaceRecognizer_create(),cv2.face.FisherFaceRecognizer_create(),cv2.face.EigenFaceRecognizer_create()'
        recogs = cv2.face.LBPHFaceRecognizer_create(),cv2.face.FisherFaceRecognizer_create(),cv2.face.EigenFaceRecognizer_create()
        self.recognizer = recogs[recogType]()    
        self.recognizer.train(self.images,self.lables)

I'd guess change `self.recognizer = recogs[recogType]()` to `self.recognizer = recogs[recogType]` — doctorlove, Apr 30 '19 at 09:30
@doctorlove i appreciate your quick reply to help, after changing self.recognizer = recogs[recogType]() to self.recognizer=recogs[recogType], this is the new error thrown: error: (-5:Bad argument) Empty training data was given. You'll need more than one sample to learn a model. in function 'train' — Barrow, Apr 30 '19 at 09:41

The specific problem is with this line:

self.recognizer = recogs[recogType]()

By placing braces () on the end, you are trying to call the recognizer, as the error says. Change this to

self.recognizer = recogs[recogType]

//Disclaimer - there may be other problems.
