.

import numpy as np
import cv2

im = cv2.imread('test.jpg')
imgray = cv2.cvtColor(im,cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
ret,thresh = cv2.threshold(imgray,127,255,0)
contours, hierarchy = cv2.findContours(thresh,cv2.RETR_TREE,cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE)

When executing this code, I get an error: ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 2) .

Is there a mistake in tutorial or am I doing something wrong?

you're using the wrong tutorial for your opencv version.for latest, have a look here , for 3.4 or older here

opencv4 does no more return the image from there, so there are only 2 return values now, while older versions had 3 return values there.

ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 2) meaning you need another varaible.

 ret, contours, hierarchy = cv2.findContours(thresh,cv2.RETR_TREE,cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE)
