Windows Python opencv_contrib Install
Hey everyone, I'm trying to use sift/surf which I know has been moved to opencv_contrib. I installed from the precomiled binary opencv3. How do I install opencv_contrib on windows?
I think I have to compile from source, so I have cmake and visual studio 2008 c++. Cmake completes with the opencv extra modules path entered with no errors!
Now, how do I actually compile and install for python after generating the makefiles with cmake?
Thank you so much for your help.
just open the opencv.sln file with vs2008 , switch to release mode, and build the INSTALL project.
Hey everyone, I've got the same problem (want to use sift/surf) I followed the install-guide for installing OpenCV from source and build the ALL_BUILD and the INSTALL project. But nothing happened to my Python27 directory (no errors in the builds, everything was successful). My question is: how can I install the INSTALL project to my python directory or how can I get the new cv2.pyd file which I could copy to the python directory? I deleted the cv2.pyd file which I copied to the python directory in a previous installation (prebuild binaries installation) before and after a INSTALL build but nothing changed. If I delete the file, following error will occur: "ImportError: No module named cv2". Thank you for your help!
