I am creating a face recognition system using Python and OpenCV on these versions:
Python 3.6.2 :: Anaconda custom (64-bit)
Anaconda 4.3.23
OpenCV 3.3.0
When I try to train the face recognizer:
face_recognizer = cv2.face.createLBPHFaceRecognizer()
I get this error:
AttributeError: module 'cv2' has no attribute 'face'
Update:
I've tried to do this:
pip install opencv_python‑3.3.0+contrib‑cp36‑cp36m‑win_amd64.whl
Also:
conda install -c menpo opencv3=3.3.0
And I still have the error.
The Menpo project does not have an installer for OpenCV 3.3. The Menpo project is up to 3.1 on macOS and Windows, and 3.2 on Linux. See the Anaconda package for that description and also the list of files for the installer versions. Actually, you can check out the GitHub repo for Menpo's OpenCV3 build and grab the files yourself. You can change the build files to suit your system if needed.
I'm not sure if your pip attempt includes a typo or not---the correct PyPI package wheel file with the contrib module is opencv_contrib_python not opencv_python+contrib, as shown at PyPI. Note that if you're not using Windows the GUI features of OpenCV will not work with the pip installer, including imshow() and other similar features.
You'd be better served just removing and reinstalling fresh with the contrib modules instead of trying to build them in later.
While I was looking for the same solution, I tried out many methods which don't work well with successfully installing OpenCV along with the extra modules i.e., OpenCV Contrib.
Apparently, while using pip install opencv-python windows platforms usually download only OpenCV without the extra modules!
What works, is stable and easy to install:
Download the integrated 'whl' file containing both OpenCV and it's Contrib files, which would be like 'opencv_python‑3.4.3+contrib‑cp36‑cp36m‑win_amd64.whl' which can be downloaded from here.
Install using pip install <whl filename>
I have tried other methods which are unreliable such as the solution suggested by #RoyaumeIX, however ended up with failure.
So is it with using
pip install opencv
pip install opencv-contrib
Installing opencv-contrib does not properly register the opencv package.
I strongly suggest that you directly download the official whl file and install it.
I also had same problem but it got resolved by following these steps:
start anaconda navigator
open CMD.exe prompt, hope you see this **(base) C:\Users\acer>** this may be different for you
write these command >>>**pip install opencv-contrib-python**
Now you can run your code as check!! I have runned my code in Spyder in base enviroment and it worked for me!
my using python 2.7 and opencv 3.3.0
working in code
cv2.face.LBPHFaceRecognizer_create();
Solution, as were found at OpenCV forum (and same at StackOverflow), works well for me:
pip install opencv-python
pip install opencv_contrib_python
And in cv2 version 4.0.0 face recogniser can be created by using different function name, as mentionted above:
face_recognizer = cv2.face.LBPHFaceRecognizer_create()
face_recognizer = cv2.face.EigenFaceRecognizer_create()
face_recognizer = cv2.face.FisherFaceRecognizer_create()
this should fix the problem
pip install opencv-python-headless
pip install opencv-contrib-python-headless
I found the solution to my issue, you have to follow this tutorial OpenCV with extra modules.
The essential steps are:
Go to C:/PythonXX/lib/site-packeges (the site-packages folder where your python is installed), and delete cv2.pyd if present.
Download OpenCV with extra modules
Create a Visual Studio project with CMake
Open Python IDLE and enter import cv2. If there is no error, then the installation is successful.

Am encountering an issue running PaddleOCR on M1 Macbook
ERROR: flag 'flagfile' was defined more than once (in files '/Users/paddle/xly/workspace/f2bafd01-b80e-4ac8-972c-1652775b2e51/Paddle/build/third_party/gflags/src/extern_gflags/src/gflags.cc' and '/tmp/gflags-20211021-3963-1mi18ai/gflags-2.2.2/src/gflags.cc').
This is related to the new version 2.6. With 2.5 you can use the wheel with the M1 (maybe you will need to debug some of the dependencies).
The good news is I've just installed PaddleOCR 2.6.1.2 on my Mac, right now.
You have two options:
You can upgrade to Python 3.10 (I am using 3.10.8) and then this error is gone
You can stick to Python 3.9 or lower and install PaddleOCR manually
If you want to continue with Python 3.9 or lower, then instead of installing via pip or conda, you do it manually by building the egg locally (it is an egg and not a wheel because it is using setuptools).
Assuming you already have a conda env or similar (mine has Python 3.10 and paddlepaddle 4.2.1, you'll probably need to install setuptools), you proceed as follows:
git clone https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR.git
cd PaddleOCR
conda install --file requirements.txt
python setup.py install
After this you can use PaddleOCR on that environment.
Dependencies that can bring on some issues are Shapely, PyMuPDF, protobuf... Anyway I believe this whole issue will be fixed in the next release and then we will be able to use the wheel as-is.
MAC M1 chip can't follow Paddle's document step by step. I solve it by downloading the source code and recompiling it

I've installed python and opencv by using the correct commands in the cmd, but when I type in 'import cv2' in a python then I get the error in visual studio code and I can't find any solution online how to fix this
Import "cv2" could not be resolved Pylance (reportMissingImports)
More of the error in the terminal
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cv2'
It just happened to me and I solved it installing both opencv-python and opencv-python-headless with pip and reloading the Visual Studio Code window right after it.
To install the needed packages, just run this command in the terminal:
$ pip install opencv-python opencv-python-headless
Make sure that its using the correct version of Python; e.g., I installed Python from the windows store, which is working:
However, if I use another one, it does not work:
I noticed that Visual Studio does not support the latest Python 3.8, so I had to use PyCharm as an IDE.
I had a similar issue so I installed opencv-python-headless (install opencv-python if not earlier) and reloaded the VScode window.
pip install opencv-python-headless
However, some methods like imshow() kept failing:
cv2.error: (-2:Unspecified error) The function is not implemented. Rebuild the library with Windows, GTK+ 2.x or Cocoa support. If you are on Ubuntu or Debian, install libgtk2.0-dev and pkg-config, then re-run cmake or configure script in function 'cvShowImage'
This was resolved by installing opencv-contrib-python. You can install it by running the following code in your terminal:
pip install opencv-contrib-python
In your terminal (cmd if Windows) run the following (make sure that you're on the current working environment):
pip install opencv-python
then:
pip install opencv-python-headless
I just uninstalled the older python version and installed a new one again. That is probably the simplest and the most hassle-free one in my mind. Stick to version 3.8.8, that should do the trick. Also no worries about maintaining multiple versions of python in the system. It is indeed true that the lack of support from VS is causing this issue.
I am on a mac and struggle with this and this is the best way to do it, when ur in your .py file, on the lower left part of your vscode windown u will see the version of python you are using, click that and try different versions until your open cv command works, in my case, 3.8.8 worked for me.
I am a beginner in terms of using python. Currently, I got python 3.7 and I am using anaconda as IDE. For my project, I need to detect the location and brightness of points/dots in an external imported picture. I figure I could use the modul OpenCV. Unfortunately, I am stuck right now with the problem to import the module cv2. I already successfully installed the package using
python -m pip install OpenCV-python
on command prompt. OpenCV Version which was installed is 4.2.0.34. While compiling the test script of OpenCV on Spyder
import cv2
print(cv2.__version__)
I got this message
"ImportError : DLL load failed : The Modul was not found."
Can somebody let me know please how to fix this problem? Is somehow the version of OpenCV I got not compatible with the Python version? I already watched and followed many tutorial videos on Youtube, but I couldn't find the solution. I tried to copy the cv2.pyd to the site-packages folder in
C:/user/Anaconda3/Lib/site-packages directory
still it didn't fix the problem...
I would appreciate any answers and help I could get here. Thank you!
try installing it using these commands in the following order:
conda update anaconda-navigator
conda update navigator-updater
pip install opencv-python
It should work fine.
Try conda install opencv
or conda install -c menpo opencv
I have successfully installed Anaconda 4.1.1 for Python version 2.7 on Windows.
Pycharm does not recognize import graphviz module.
Running pip install graphviz is not an option since access to the internet is blocked from within Firm's network.
I have also tried from within Pycharm to import package
From Project Interpreter, all the standard packages are listed except graphviz. Selecting packages list is empty.
Please advice.
This helped me... http://www.alexandrejoseph.com/blog/2016-02-10-install-pygraphviz-mac-osx.html
I just added the install options, pip install pygraphviz --install-option="--include-path=/usr/local/include/graphviz/" --install-option="--library-path=/usr/local/lib/graphviz"
How to install opencv with python 3.6 and anaconda 3.6?
I tried conda install -c https://conda.binstar.org/menpo opencv3
but i get the following error:
UnsatisfiableError: The following specifications were found to be in conflict:
- opencv3 -> python 2.7*
- python 3.6*
Use "conda info <package>" to see the dependencies for each package.
I am using Windows 10 64-bit, with python 3.6, and anaconda 3.6 installed.
Is it even available for python3.6 at the moment or should i rollback my python version to 3.5.*?
search anaconda prompt
open and run the command.
> pip install opencv-python
this single command help's you to install opencv easily.
you can take help from the video link below.

From menpo file page, it shows that the OpenCV 3.2 binary there are only for Python 2.7/3.4/3.5 and on linux-64 platform
You may go to the this site to get the exact version you need.
opencv_python‑3.2.0‑cp36‑cp36m‑win_amd64.whl is the basic one.
opencv_python‑3.2.0+contrib‑cp36‑cp36m‑win_amd64.whl is the one
with opencv-contrib modules such as the text module for binding to tesseract OCR engine and many others.
Both binary are for OpenCV 3.2 with Python 3.6 binding for Windows 64-bit. To install it, 1) download the binary to local drive, 2) open your Anaconda command prompt and 3) type the command below in the directory the binary locates.
pip install opencv_python‑3.2.0+contrib‑cp36‑cp36m‑win_amd64.whl
Hope this help.
Update on 2018-02-22:
OpenCV 3.4.0 wheel files are now available in the unofficial site and replaced OpenCV 3.3.0
Update on 2019-01-30:
OpenCV 4.0.1 wheel files are now available in the unofficial site with CPython 3.5/3.6/3.7 support.
I managed to get it working by doing the following:
Download and install python3.6 from official python site
https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-360/
Download and install Anaconda 4.4.0 from the official anaconda site
https://www.continuum.io/downloads
Open command line and run:
pip install opencv-python
Open command line and run:
pip install opencv-contrib-python
I am using Windows 10 and it worked for me.
It's pretty simple..
Install Anaconda 3.6. Check anaconda is added to System Variable Path.
Open CMD and type conda install -c conda-forge opencv.
This will install latest OpenCV version available (3.6).
Open IDE editor and try import cv2.
It will probably don't work...don't worry.
You have to add cv2 command to editor.
For Eclipse (with PyDev):
Create firs a project and then do the following:
For PyCharm:
cv2 module probably won't work. Go to the Anaconda folder/Lib/site-packages/cv2 and copy the file cv2.cp36-win_amd64.pyd to the site-packages folder. Rename it cv2.pyd
Now try to write a command... cv2.imread(). If auto-completition don't work, try cv2.cv2.imread().
This will work for sure.
I am using Python 3.6.2 and Anaconda 4.3.23 (It should also work with your case).
I did the following:
Download the Numpy version corresponding to your Python installation from here. In my case, I’ve used numpy-1.13.1+mkl-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl
Download the OpenCV version corresponding to your Python installation from here. In my case, I’ve used opencv_python-3.3.0-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl
Now go to the folder where you downloaded these files and run the following:
pip install numpy-1.13.1+mkl-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl
pip install opencv_python-3.3.0-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl
Note the Successfully installed … message after each command.
At this point, you should be able to play with OpenCV and Python. Let’s try a small test first. Start the Python interpreter or Jupyter Notebook and write:
import cv2
print(cv2.__version__)
If everything was correctly installed, you should see the version number of your OpenCV install, in my case this was 3.3.0.
I see you found a solution but this may be helpful for others. The package is not available for Python 3.6. You can check this by going to that package channel on anaconda.org and selecting the files tab. You will see the package tarballs with the Python version listed as py27, py34, py35,etc. This is a good way to check for Python versions of a specific package.
You can also run the following to see the package versions and Python versions available for your OS from the Anaconda channel:
conda search <package_name>
Or to search a particular channel and package you can do this:
conda search -c <channel_name> <package_name>
As of March 2018, OpenCV 3.4 can be installed directly from conda-forge or anaconda in Windows/OSX/Linux for Python 3.6
conda install -c conda-forge opencv
or
conda install -c anaconda opencv
Using:
conda install -c conda-forge opencv
worked for me
If you have installed anaconda then you should uninstall it, then try
pip install opencv_python‑3.2.0+contrib‑cp36‑cp36m‑win_amd64.whl
It worked for me.
Thank You.
I am using python 3.6 and the following worked for me:
Download and install opencv (Win pack) on your computer from the official website:
https://opencv.org/releases.html (I took version 3.4.2)
Go to the website of Christoph Gohlke and download the wheel file corresponding to your system. (I took opencv_python-3.4.2-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl)
As mentioned on the website of Christoph Gohlke, make sure you installed 'numpy1.14' & 'mkl' package. Also make sure you use pip with version 9 or newer.
Start the 'Anaconda Prompt'
Change the directory in the 'Anaconda Prompt' to the folder where you downloaded the wheel file from Gohlke's website (via the MS-DOS command 'cd').
In the 'Anaconda Prompt' type 'pip install opencv_python-3.4.2-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl') (change the name of the wheel file accordingly).
When starting spyder, test your installation as follows:
import cv2
print(cv2.__version__)
If the version is printed in the console (in my case 3.4.2), your installation was successful.
IMPORTANT REMARK:
If you created a dedicated environment within Anaconda (in my case 'py36'), make sure you installed spyder for this dedicated environment ('conda install spyder'). If not, your installation of opencv will not be recognised within the environment you are working in. Maybe this is obvious and straightforward but in my case I struggled to find this solution.
First Download Anaconda Python 3.6 from official site. After installing anaconda, simply open command prompt and type following statement and press enter of course -
conda install -c conda-forge opencv
It may take some time. After the completion, check your conda packages by typing conda list - opencv should be there.
However, Before proceed to install opencv, you can check whether opencv for python 3.6 is available or not. We can check it by typing conda info opencv in command prompt and press enter of course, you'll see following -
opencv 3.3.1 py36h20b85fd_1

vc 14.*
zlib >=1.2.11,<1.3.0a0
By this we can also get ensure that opencv 3.3.1 py36h20b85fd_1 is available. And this is available for python 3.6
I think this way is straight forward. Just install anaconda from official page and follow the image.
Using Anaconda3's package manager directly will be more reliable and cross-platform:
conda install opencv
