I ran this simple code to show a pic using OpenCV. The pic shows up in a new windows as expected. When I close the window the console in spyder get stuck, it looks like is still running or waiting. It seams like the waitKey() in not working properly. The only way I can continue is restarting the console. When I use a number for example waitKey(1000) the program works fine, the picture shows up, windows close and the program finish as expected. I tried to run the code in the Anaconda shell from the prompt and I have the same problem I am using python 3.7.5 Thanks a lot!
import cv2
cv2.imshow("title", img)
cv2.waitKey()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
Before hitting a key get focus on graphic window with the image.
cv2.waitKey()
is a function that sleeps for a certain amount of milliseconds to keep the windows displayed with cv2.imshow()
opened.
The correct usage is one of the two cases below:
cv2.waitKey(0)
: sleeps until the user presses a key; cv2.waitKey(5)
: sleeps for 5ms. Here, the number 5
can be replaced for any value greater than zero to represent the amount of milliseconds the function must use to take a nap; Calling cv2.waitKey()
without any value might trigger unexpected behavior.
