Hello,

I am new to openCV and have started the tutorials online. I'm using Visual Studio Code and Python and get no error when I just import opencv and python. However, when I run these lines of code:'

import opencv as cv
import numpy
img = cv.imread('photo.jpg')

I get this error:

AttributeError: module 'opencv' has no attribute 'imread' PS C:\Users\OpenCV>

I don't understand why this is happening, if I need to specify more I would gladly do so.

Thank you!

You got typo error namespace. Change this:

import opencv as cv

to:

import cv2 as cv

I changed the name of the folder before. Changing the folder back to cv2 and changing the code, I get the same error.

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cv2

What is your opencv and python version? You need to pip install opencv-python

Is that 3 lines you do?

import cv2 as cv
import numpy
img = cv.imread('photo.jpg')
