Python opencv Aruco "No module named 'cv2.aruco'"

I am running an Ubuntu virtual machine with, Python 3.6.1, Anaconda 4.4.0 (64-bit). I am trying to run the code on this website. When I try to use

import cv2.aruco

I get:

>>> import cv2.aruco
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cv2.aruco'

Is this something I need to install or setup?

Solution

  • If cv2.aruco is not found, try installing opencv-contrib-python, such as by running the following (for the default Python installation):

    pip install opencv-contrib-python

    Or for a specific Python installation (in this case Python 3)

    python3 -m pip install opencv-contrib-python

    Then try re-running the script trying to access cv2.aruco.
