Download opencv 4 5 5

The name of the virtual environment. To exit the virtual environment, use the deactivate command.Once inside the virtual environment, you can now install OpenCV. Execute the command below.pip3 install opencv-pythonInstall OpenCV with pipFrom the image above, you can see we have successfully installed OpenCV version 4.5.1.48. That’s it! You are done with OpenCV installation. To test OpenCV in your project, skip to the Test section at the bottom of the article.Method 2: Install OpenCV from the sourceIf you need a full installation of OpenCV, which includes patented algorithms, then you should use this method. Unlike the pip install method, which only takes a couple of minutes, compiling OpenCV from the source can take around two (2) hours. Follow the steps below:Step 1. Activate your virtual environment with the workon command below.workon sbb_cvStep 2. Download the source code for both OpenCV and Opencv_contrib from Github. Use the wget commands below.wget -O opencv_contrib.zip -O opencv.zip you get an error like ‘wget command not found,’ then you will need to install it with the command – sudo apt install wgetStep 3. We need to unzip the contents of the two files we downloaded. Use the unzip command as shown below:unzip opencv.zipunzip opencv_contrib.zipStep 4. After extracting the zip files, we will have two folders – opencv-4.5.2 and opencv_contrib-4.5.1. Let’s rename these two to something memorable like opencv and opencv_contrib.mv opencv-4.5.2 opencvmv opencv_contrib-4.5.1 opencv_contribRename foldersStep 5. Compiling OpenCV can be quite heavy on the Raspberry Pi memory. To avoid freezing or hanging, we can increase the SWAP space and utilize all four cores of the Pi in the compiling process. To do so, we will edit the dphys-swapfile present in the /etc. directory. Execute the command below to open dphys-swapfile with the nano editor.sudo nano /etc/dphys-swapfileFind the line – CONF_SWAPSIZE and set its value to

#5: Finishing the installWe’re almost there! Just a few more things and we’ll be 100% done.For Python 2.7:Provided you finished Step #4 without error, OpenCV should now be installed in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages :$ ls -l /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/total 1636-rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 1675144 Oct 17 15:25 cv2.soNote: In some instances OpenCV can be installed in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (note the dist-packages rather than site-packages ). If you do not find the cv2.so bindings in site-packages , be sure to check dist-packages as well.The last step here is to sym-link the OpenCV bindings into the cv virtual environment:$ cd ~/.virtualenvs/cv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/$ ln -s /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cv2.so cv2.soFor Python 3:OpenCV should now be installed in /usr/local/lib/python3.4/site-packages :$ ls /usr/local/lib/python3.4/site-packages/cv2.cpython-34m.soFor some reason, unbeknownst to me, when compiling the Python 3 bindings the output .so file is named cv2.cpython-34m.so rather than cv2.so .Luckily, this is an easy fix. All we need to do is rename the file:$ cd /usr/local/lib/python3.4/site-packages/$ sudo mv cv2.cpython-34m.so cv2.soFollowed by sym-linking OpenCV into our cv virtual environment:$ cd ~/.virtualenvs/cv/lib/python3.4/site-packages/$ ln -s /usr/local/lib/python3.4/site-packages/cv2.so cv2.soStep #6: Verifying your OpenCV 3 installAt this point, OpenCV 3 should be installed on your Raspberry Pi running Raspbian Jessie!But before we wrap this tutorial up, let’s verify that your OpenCV installation is working by accessing the cv virtual environment and importing cv2 , the OpenCV + Python bindings:$ workon cv$ python>>> import cv2>>> cv2.__version__'3.0.0'You can see a screenshot of my terminal below, indicating that OpenCV 3 has been successfully installed:Figure 5: OpenCV 3 + Python 3 bindings have been successfully installed on my Raspberry Pi 2 running Rasbian Jessie.TroubleshootingQ. When I try to use the mkvirtualenv or workon commands, I get an error saying “command not found”.A. Go back to Step #3 and ensure your ~/.profile file has been updated properly. Once you have updated it, be sure to run source ~/.profile to reload it.Q. After I reboot/logout/open up a new terminal, I cannot run the mkvirtualenv or workon commands.A. Anytime you reboot your system, logout and log back in, or open up a new terminal, you should run source ~/.profile to make sure you have access to your Python virtual environments.Q. When I

2048. See the image below.Increase SWAP spaceOnce done, save the file (Ctrl + O, then Enter) and Exit (Ctrl + X).To apply the changes, restart the SWAP service with the commands below:sudo /etc/init.d/dphys-swapfile stopsudo /etc/init.d/dphys-swapfile startStep 6. Now, we have everything set to start compiling and installing OpenCV. Activate the virtual environment with the workon command.workon sbb_cvStep 7. Install Numpy with the pip command.pip3 install numpyInstall NumpyStep 8. With NumPy installed, we can now start configuring OpenCV. Navigate to the OpenCV directory to get started.Note: You need to be in the /opencv/build directory when executing the cmake command. You can use the pwd command to see your current working directory.cd opencvmkdir buildcd buildcmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE \ -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local \ -D OPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH=~/opencv_contrib/modules \ -D ENABLE_NEON=ON \ -D ENABLE_VFPV3=ON \ -D BUILD_TESTS=OFF \ -D INSTALL_PYTHON_EXAMPLES=OFF \ -D OPENCV_ENABLE_NONFREE=ON \ -D CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS=-latomic \ -D BUILD_EXAMPLES=OFF ..Configure OpenCVThe cmake command might take a couple of minutes to execute. Please be patient.Step 9. We have already configured OpenCV for installation. Now let’s start compiling with all the Four cores of the Pi. Execute the command below:make -j4This is one of the longest steps. It might take between 1 to 4 hours, depending on the Raspberry Pi board you are using. As of writing this post, Raspberry Pi 4 is the fastest.Compiling OpenCVStep 10. Once the compiling process completes without an ERROR, we can now install OpenCV. Execute the commands below:sudo make installsudo ldconfigInstall OpenCVStep 11. Since we are done with installing OpenCV, we can reset the SWAP size to 100MB. Edit the /etc/dphys-swapfile and set the value of CONF_SWAPSIZE to 100MB as described in Step 5 above. Remember to Restart the swap service with the commands below:sudo /etc/init.d/dphys-swapfile stop sudo /etc/init.d/dphys-swapfile startStep 12. To finalize our installation, we will create symbolic links of cv2 to
