Python TypeError: list indices must be integers or slices, not tuple

I am trying to extract features from an image img using convolution.

img_copy = np.copy(img)
x = img_copy.shape[0]
y = img_copy.shape[1]

matrix = [[-1, -2, -1], [0, 0, 0], [1, 2, 1]] # convolution matrix
weight = 1

def conv(x, y):
    val = 0.0
    for row,i in enumerate([-1, 0, 1]):
        for col,j in enumerate([-1, 0, 1]):
            val = val + img[x+j, y+i]*matrix[row, col]
    val = val*weight

    return val

for i in range(1, x-1):
    for j in range(1, y-1):
        pixel = conv(i, j)
        if(pixel<0):
            pixel = 0
        if(pixel>255):
            pixel = 255

Executing this code block throws the following error:

TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)

      4         if(pixel<0):
      5             pixel = 0

      9     val = val*weight

Any help to resolve this issue is appreciated.

Your matrix is not a numpy array, but a Python list, thus matrix[row, col] can not be performed.

You thus should convert this to a numpy array:

matrix = np.array([[-1, -2, -1], [0, 0, 0], [1, 2, 1]])
val = val + img[x+j, y+i]*matrix[row, col]

Two values separated by a comma is usually interpreted as a tuple. Try this instead

val = val + img[x+j][y+i]*matrix[row][col]
