error: (-215:Assertion failed) !_src0.empty() in function 'medianBlur' code example
Example: error: (-215:Assertion failed) !_src.empty() in function 'cv::cvtColor'
This error happened because the image didn't load properly.
So you have problem with the previous line cv2.imread my suggestion is :
check if the images exist in the path you give
check the count variable if he have valid number
