Great video AI Guy. I also got the error ' ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cv2''. I solved it with next steps: 1. Install Pyhton 3.7, not 3.8 o higher. 2. install numpy before running cmake (cmake doesn't recognoise numpy path if missing) 3. set environment variables C:\Users\xxxxxx\OpenCV\build\install\x64\vc16\bin to PATH C:\Users\xxxxxx\OpenCV\build a OPENCV_DIR to OPENCV_DIR 4.

I added build/install folder path in windows path as well. My questions here is how does python knows if the Cv2 library is installed ?.

He should've demonstrated enabling "with CUDA" since chances are most of us have CUDA. I had to rebuild everything after his next video on YOLOV3, which just lightly brushes on how to enable CUDA. Now I built it with CUDA, which takes hours instead of the previous 5-10 mins, then I'm getting no module named cv2 after trying to import cv2. this error wasn't there when I built and installed without CUDA.

Great tutorial, you seem to know your stuff much better, than the guy in the last tutorial I followed :)

[@therealrolanddeschain9253]

OK, maybe the build time is so high, because I build with CUDA and forgott to remove all the older versions in the CUDA_ARCH_BIN setting?

[@sherzodnurullayev1239]

Hey man. Fantastic tutorial. The most clear one I've seen so far. But I have a dumb question. Why we need to install opencv from source? What is wrong with installed opencv using PIP?

[@oddcloud9022]

Building from source gives a few advantages over installing over pip (Python’s installer) • Allows you to install and select your own features (like in this example the contribution expansion library is added, you can also install other things like CUDA utilization) • Allows you to select the install location • Allows you to select optimization flags for faster performance of OpenCV (for example if you’re installing it with CUDA) • Allows you to add or remove features during installation A disadvantage of building from source though, is that you’re responsible for updating the install yourself (keeping up with new features, security patches, etc).

Perfect Video and well explained. In the end I would have just expected an example in VS. One question: Don’t we have to set environment settings in windows for openCV?

[@GaryMarkowski]

Yes. You should add a path similar to C:\OpenCV\opencv-4.7.0\out\build\x64-Debug\bin in the Windows system "Environment Variables" (Path variable). Then close and reopen Visual Studio for the Path settings to take effect. Do this after you Build OpenCV. If you create the Install for OpenCV, then you can use a path similar to C:\OpenCV\opencv-4.7.0\out\install\x64-Debug\x64\vc17\bin instead. This Path is used when you create a project that uses OpenCV.

While I was trying to configure the CMake I got an error which says; Found PythonInterp: C:/cygwin64/bin/python3 (Required is at least version "3.2") CMake Warning at cmake/OpenCVDetectPython.cmake:81 (message): CMake's 'find_host_package(PythonInterp 3.2)' founds wrong Python version: PYTHON_EXECUTABLE=C:/cygwin64/bin/python3 PYTHON_VERSION_STRING= Consider specify 'PYTHON3_EXECUTABLE' variable via CMake command line or environment variables Call Stack (most recent call first): cmake/OpenCVDetectPython.cmake:280 (find_python) CMakeLists.txt:585 (include) CMake Error at cmake/OpenCVUtils.cmake:131 (find_package): find_package called with invalid argument "OFF" Call Stack (most recent call first): cmake/OpenCVDetectPython.cmake:93 (find_host_package) cmake/OpenCVDetectPython.cmake:280 (find_python) CMakeLists.txt:585 (include) I would be really appreciable if you can solve this , Best regards .xxx

Try unchecking any of the python parameters as you shouldnt need them.

Hi i have a query.. after i press configure in cmake after checking the required options. I get download error for some of the modules.. it says "libcurl doesnot support https proxy" Actually i am working behind company proxy.. Please guide me

[@DineshCrazYGuY]

I have already set the HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables..but still the error persist..

[@jhonjamiltonmajinerazo7894]

Congratulations on the video. A guide on how to use this opencv configuration in an anaconda environment would be excellent. since anaconda usually uses '' conda install -c conda-forge opencv '' and nowhere is it possible to make the settings to use the GPU.

[@aqiffmursyideen3830]

hello there, i've setup my CUDA, CUDNN before and its version 10.0, Its just that I need to use MSVC 2017 and not MSVC 2019. However, I did not get the OpenCV.sln after finish configuration. Can you help me?

[@urbansmurf6669]

you yo need to press 'Generate' for the OpenCV.sln to appear (I believe)

Thank you again for posting such amazing content! I appreciate your assistance to my previous comments to this video. I wasn't able to devote much time to this project for a couple of weeks until today. I just finished successfully installing everything on a different hard drive/copy of Windows by following your video only! I'm going to install Cuda Toolkit next. Then its: The AI Guy YOLOv3 Object Detection with Darknet for Windows/Linux | Install and Run with GPU and OPENCV video here we go! :-) We greatly appreciate your videos, thanks again for them and your help in the comments!

[@TheAIGuy]

Glad you got it to work! Hope everything else goes smoothly! You can also try "Yolov3 in the cloud..." video and it will easily install darknet and allow you to run yolo detections in the cloud!

Man - I must be dumb. I keep getting the can’t find module error message. I reviewed all previous posts and troubleshot it to death but no luck. I’m uninstalling anaconda then will try again.

So in the last step it prints out Version 4.2.0, even though I downloaded Version 4.3.0. Is this a problem?

[@kavinduwijesinghe7771]

The same thing happened.

[@hicktoter]

did you succeed to build 4.3.0? For me it tells it cannot find SIFT in xfeatures2d, I think it's not supported since some release

[@hariteja6188]

I have done the same thing for cv2 3.4.10 version but I couldn't get it install .

[@aakashgupta1486]

i had followed every step you told while checking opencv it says ModuleNotFound Error: No module named 'cv2'. ms visual studio had seen no errors then why this happen

[@TheAIGuy]

Akash Gupta the error you are seeing means it can not find your opencv binary files. Have you added opencv to your Path? If not let me know and I can give you directions on how to do so!

[@peregrinussolutionsllc6010]

@@TheAIGuy Good evening AI Guy, I am really happy to have found your channel as your have really nice step by step instructions that don't skip anything :-). I am getting the same error ">>> import cv2 Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cv2'" I have tried Googling "how to add opencv to Path" and following those instructions, but I must be doing something wrong because I still receive this error. Thank you in advance! We are looking forward to using YOLOv3 to detect invasive species of plants and animals after figuring this out and watching your other videos. Best regards, Christian

[@peregrinussolutionsllc6010]

I ran C:\Users\chris>pip uninstall opencv-python and received WARNING: Skipping opencv-python as it is not installed. So I don't believe its from having two versions installed and I must have made an error adding it to my path.

[@TheAIGuy]

Peregrinus Solutions LLC in your environment variables click on Path and add the full path to your ...OpenCV/build/bin/Release folder to this variable. Then make sure you restart your computer to have the changes take effect. Let me know if it works!

[@TheAIGuy]

Peregrinus Solutions LLC if you cant get it to work you can use my “Yolov3 in the cloud” to train yolov3 without needing dependencies like opencv on your machine!

[@MutenRoshiUI]

I followed the steps and my build was success . But i am using Anaconda , so when i tried importing cv2 in base env it says NO module cv2. Anyone help. who uses Anaconda.

[@noeltam75]

can u explain why the reds can be cleared after the 2nd configure without any changes?

[@simplevc2980]

maybe...just maybe....it detect changes...so from nothing to first configure , that's all the changes....and second configure when nothing changes turns to white

great video... i was using opencv on the raspberry pi, which is nice. now for opencv on windows. very clear presentation. thanks a lot...:)

The modules folder can't install all modules, you can install only like the half of the modules with that, you doesn't mention how to install modules like ogre you need a deeper work.

[@jwknight]

For those having a problem install Python from the executable found on their website and not Windows Store. Then you will automatically get Pip working as well. First type out python then hit enter. To find out the cv2 version after importing copy and paste this exactly as is for some reason it has to be specifically copied and presented this way: "import cv2 cv2.__version__" Just don't copy it with the quotation marks otherwise it won't work. Also keep the indentation for the next line it's key to making it function for some reason. Then hit enter once again. Leave a thumbs up if this worked for you like it did for me. I followed everything but that portion was the toughest.

[@evelynjunco4574]

Hi Josh, if i copied and pasted "import cv2 cv2.__version__" and it will only copy "import cv2", then show the error and "cv2.__version__" on the line after that. Btw, the error I get after import cv2 is : Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cv2'. Please help!
