/apriltag_detector node crashes after viewing an apriltag. Receive openCV error

edit

The node /apriltag_detector will launch with no errors or warnings. I ssh into a Raspberry Pi and view the camera image with the package web_video_ server via the topic /tag_detection_image. Once I place an apriltag in view of the camera the apriltag_detector node crashes and gives this error:

This node used to work before complications with calibrating the camera. I resolved the calibration problem and the camera is calibrated. Initially I thought I may have messed something up trying to fix the calibration problem but am now led to believe it may have happened after an update/upgrade.

My attempts to downgrade openCV3 using sudo apt-get failed. I thought of commenting out the line of code causing the error but the error list a temporary directory that no longer exists. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
