OpenCV java Cant Open the Webcam

I am learning OpenCV.I am using OpenCV 3.2.0 jar. I am trying to open my webcam with it but getting an error. here is my Code

Java:

import org.opencv.core.Core;
import org.opencv.core.Mat;
import org.opencv.videoio.VideoCapture;


public class WebCam {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.loadLibrary(Core.NATIVE_LIBRARY_NAME);

    VideoCapture videoCapture = new VideoCapture(0);
    videoCapture.open("the video");
    Mat frame = new Mat();

    while (true){
        videoCapture.read(frame);


    }
}
}

The Error:

#

Process finished with exit code 134 (interrupted by signal 6: SIGABRT)

I have followed a tutorial for python and wrote this code 

import numpy as np
import cv2

cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)

while 1:
    ret, img = cap.read()
    gray = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
    cv2.imshow('THE CAMERA FOR FACE AND EYE',img)
    k = cv2.waitKey(30) & 0xff
    if k == 27:
        break


cap.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

and it worked .

Please help me out. how can i solve this. on the other hand, i am not finding enough well-explained material online. Please suggest me some good resource.Thanks in advance

The problem with your code is that you are trying to open VideoCapture again by using videocapture.open("the video") without passing the type of the file. Your code to capture a stream from webcam should just be:

import org.opencv.core.Core;
import org.opencv.core.Mat;
import org.opencv.videoio.VideoCapture;


public class WebCam {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.loadLibrary(Core.NATIVE_LIBRARY_NAME);

VideoCapture videoCapture = new VideoCapture(0);
Mat frame = new Mat();

while (true){
    videoCapture.read(frame);
    showResult(frame);
}
} 

public static void showResult(Mat img) {
Imgproc.resize(img, img, new Size(640, 480));
MatOfByte matOfByte = new MatOfByte();
Highgui.imencode(".jpg", img, matOfByte);
byte[] byteArray = matOfByte.toArray();
BufferedImage bufImage = null;
try {
    InputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream(byteArray);
    bufImage = ImageIO.read(in);
    JFrame frame = new JFrame();
    frame.getContentPane().add(new JLabel(new ImageIcon(bufImage)));
    frame.pack();
    frame.setVisible(true);
} catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

In order to display the frame you need to use the solution mentioned here as there is no Java highgui wrapper yet. I hope this helps.
