please help..
in-advance thank you

It's because of ''opencv-python-headless'. Uninstall it!

Mayur8991 · 2021-02-05T14:44:02Z

ya it is because of pip install OpenCV- python- headless just uninstall it and your error will be sorted

dwaynemcfarlane · 2021-09-07T18:59:00Z

uninstalled opencv-python-headless and still the same error. I am using Ubuntu.

nofreewill42 · 2021-09-28T14:59:52Z

sudo apt install libgtk2.0-dev pkg-config as the prompt says for Ubuntu users -> [Same Error]
pip uninstall opencv-python-headless -> [Other Error]
pip uninstall opencv-python; pip install opencv-python -> [Solved]

Thank you, @hg2051

Yuvaldavid · 2022-05-13T12:56:46Z

I have the same problem too. I did pip uninstall opencv-python-headless and it still does not work.

Kitty1122 · 2022-05-24T03:52:26Z

Tried pip uninstall opencv-python-headless - didn't work
Also, pip uninstall opencv-python; pip install open-python - didn't work

Closed Spyder environment and opened it again - worked! :)

TracyLoza · 2022-07-04T20:02:28Z

I have the same problem too. I did pip uninstall opencv-python-headless and it still does not work.

Same to me, but I do this:
pip uninstall opencv-python
Then:
pip install opencv-python

bkaan99 · 2022-10-31T11:34:07Z

Solve: Unistall opencv-python-headless

LikhithChakravarthi · 2023-02-18T12:49:38Z

I have tried everything, unistalling opencv-python, contrib modules and reinstalling them and Uninstalling headless module, but not working. Can ayone help me?

bkaan99 · 2023-02-18T16:58:06Z

@LikhithChakravarthi Hi Addinational Solution :
Use Pycharm,
Install opencv-python and cv2 from the module installation location of the interpreter you will use from the interpreter options in Pycharm.

obensustam2 · 2023-07-03T21:41:05Z

Please use Pycharm, it is way easier to manage the packages

venkat1230 · 2023-09-14T05:33:55Z

Hay
please try to update the --> { python -m pip install opencv-python --upgrade } <-- in windows
it worked for me.

The error you're encountering indicates that the version of OpenCV you're using was built without GUI support for window management. To resolve this issue and display the camera feed in a window, you can either rebuild OpenCV with GUI support or use an alternative library to display the camera feed. Here are two possible solutions:

Solution 1: Rebuild OpenCV with GUI Support (Recommended)

Ensure you have CMake installed on your system.

Rebuild OpenCV with GUI support using CMake. You can do this by following these steps:

Download the OpenCV source code from the official OpenCV website: https://opencv.org/releases/

Extract the downloaded source code archive to a directory.

Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the directory where you extracted the OpenCV source code.

Create a build directory within the OpenCV source directory and navigate to it:
Configure the build using CMake with GUI support enabled:
using :
cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -D BUILD_opencv_python2=OFF -D BUILD_opencv_python3=ON -D WITH_TBB=ON -D WITH_V4L=ON -D WITH_QT=ON -D WITH_OPENGL=ON ..

After successful configuration, build and install OpenCV:
make
sudo make install

Once the installation is complete, you should have OpenCV with GUI support.

Update your Python environment to use the newly built OpenCV library. You may need to uninstall the previous OpenCV package and install the new one.

Thanks, it worked for me too=)))

vivekmorariya · 2023-11-29T03:40:34Z

if you are using spyder then ...
uninstall the open cv which you have installed by command prompt or anaconda prompt
then install the opencv library using the terminal available in the spyder itself
then try again to run the same code/program using spyder it will run.

After successful configuration, build and install OpenCV: make sudo make install

Once the installation is complete, you should have OpenCV with GUI support.

Update your Python environment to use the newly built OpenCV library. You may need to uninstall the previous OpenCV package and install the new one.

To do this but for windows:
After running this command successfully:
"cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -D BUILD_opencv_python2=OFF -D BUILD_opencv_python3=ON -D WITH_TBB=ON -D WITH_V4L=ON -D WITH_QT=ON -D WITH_OPENGL=ON .."

Instead of executing "make" and "sudo make install" as these are bash commands,
In powershell you have to execute these commands in the build directory:
To Build: cmake --build . --config Release
To Install: cmake --build . --target INSTALL

Now uninstall and then reinstall "opencv-python" using pip.

Done!

pip uninstall opencv-python; pip install opencv-python Solved by pycharm

hzx829 · 2024-01-21T15:55:18Z

On Ubuntu, this work for me:

sudo apt-get install python3-opencv

oussamaJMAA · 2024-01-30T14:40:03Z

Hay please try to update the --> { python -m pip install opencv-python --upgrade } <-- in windows it worked for me.

ugprading to a newer version solved the issue for me ( opencv 4.9.0)

jmhasan1 · 2024-03-25T17:20:57Z

It's because of ''opencv-python-headless'. Uninstall it!

Hie , I have uninstall opencv-headless but upon uninstalling that I am unable to import opencv
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cv2'
(upon uninstalling opencv-headless)
And if I reinstall opencv (with opencv-headless) , it is imported but stuck in same error

c2727c · 2024-05-01T11:03:24Z

Did uninstall then re-install opencv-python and it worked for me.

before:

opencv-python==4.8.0.74
opencv-python-headless==4.9.0.80
after:
- opencv-python==4.9.0.80
- opencv-python-headless==4.9.0.80

So I guess this error can be caused by mismatched versions of opencv-python and opencv-python-headless.

dineth88 · 2024-05-31T23:42:25Z

If you are using Pycharm, just simply change the interpreter and try to run your application again. It solves my problem relating with this error.
