Answer 1

I met the same problem when I was doing my master project. Try Python version=3.6 and then install the latest version of OpenCV.

Here is the solution:

pip install opencv
# must install the extra package below
pip install opencv-contrib-python==3.3.0.10

Hope it works for you, good luck!
