Error error: (-5:Bad argument) in function 'rectangle'

it’s got to be integers. and you should use loops to their full effect:

  boxes = prediction(img, threshold).astype(int)
  for box in boxes:
      cv2.rectangle(img, box[0], box[1], color=(255, 0, 0), thickness=rect_th)

I’m hoping that thing is a numpy array. if it’s not, just use boxes = np.asarray(boxes, dtype=int) before the loop
