This is the exact error that I am getting. My OS is Ubuntu 16.10.
OpenCV Error: Unspecified error (The function is not implemented. Rebuild the library with Windows, GTK+ 2.x or Carbon support. If you are on Ubuntu or Debian, install libgtk2.0-dev and pkg-config, then re-run cmake or configure script) in cvShowImage, file /feedstock_root/build_artefacts/work/opencv-3.1.0/modules/highgui/src/window.cpp, line 545 Traceback (most recent call last): File "untitled.py", line 7, in cv2.imshow('image',img) cv2.error: /feedstock_root/build_artefacts/work/opencv-3.1.0/modules/highgui/src/window.cpp:545: error: (-2) The function is not implemented. Rebuild the library with Windows, GTK+ 2.x or Carbon 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
my code is:
import numpy as np
import cv2
# Load an color image in grayscale
img = cv2.imread('0002.png',0)
cv2.imshow('image',img)
cv2.waitKey(0)
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
0002.png is an image in the same directory as the program. I first installed anaconda with python 3.5, then I installed opencv by using the command
conda install -c conda-forge opencv
I installed libgtk2.0-dev just as the error said to but I still get the same error. Any help would be much appreciated. I've been trying to solve this for several hours.
The Python "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cv2'" occurs when we forget to install the opencv-python module before importing it or install it in an incorrect environment. To solve the error, install the module by running the pip install opencv-python command.
You can try the following: Download and install the latest version of python. Restart your terminal. Create a new virtualEnv and install dependencies, check the script below.
So open the command prompt or terminal as per the operating system you are using. In that type, “Python,” it will show you the python version you are using. Next, in that use command “pip install OpenCV-python,” it will install this for you. Along with that, it will also install you the NumPy library.
1.The easiest way:
conda remove opencv
conda update conda
conda install --channel menpo opencv
or (for OpenCV 3.1) :
conda install -c menpo opencv3
2.And if u don't want to do this, you can try to use matplotlib .
import cv2
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
img = cv2.imread('img.jpg',0)
plt.imshow(img, cmap='gray')
plt.show()
3.Or try to build library by your own with option WITH_GTK=ON
, or smth like that.
Update - 18th Jun 2019
I got this error on my Ubuntu(18.04.1 LTS) system for openCV 3.4.2, as the method call to cv2.imshow was failing. I am using anaconda. Just the below 2 steps helped me resolve:
conda remove opencv
conda install -c conda-forge opencv=4.1.0
If you are using pip, you can try
pip install opencv-contrib-python
