OpenCV¶

OpenCV 2¶

installed with python 2

OpenCV 3¶

installed with python 3, but the imshow doesn’t work, solve by

conda install -c menpo opencv3

refer to OpenCV not working properly with python on Linux with anaconda. Getting error that cv2.imshow() is not implemented Ask Question

If necessary, install imutils: A series of convenience functions to make basic image processing operations such as translation, rotation, resizing, skeletonization, and displaying Matplotlib images easier with OpenCV and Python.

conda install -c conda-forge imutils

Some bugs¶

error: OpenCV(3.4.2) /tmp/build/80754af9/opencv-suite_1535558553474/work/modules/imgproc/src/color.hpp:253: error: (-215:Assertion failed) VScn::contains(scn) && VDcn::contains(dcn) && VDepth::contains(depth) in function 'CvtHelper'

the image might be not read properly, such as wrong path.

OpenCV 4¶

build from source according to the official documentation

curious how the python distinguish different versions of opencv, does it affect the conda environment?

build from source by specifying something, refer to Buidling OpenCV with Conda on Linux and How to install OpenCV 4 on Ubuntu

这并不意味着只安装在具体 conda envs 中，而是 /usr/local 中，最后再 ln -s 过去
ln -s 时python site-packages 下的 .so 文件必须重命名为 cv2.so，否则找不到！！
所有其实一开始指定 cmake，只是为了针对具体版本进行编译，最后还需要自己 link，参照 Compile OpenCV with Cmake to integrate it within a Conda env 设置 BUILD_opencv_python2=OFF
