AttributeError: module 'cv2.cv2' has no attribute 'bgsegm

Question

import numpy as np
import cv2
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(\'vtest.avi\')
fgbg = cv2.bgsegm.createBackgroundSubtractorMOG()
while(1):
    ret, frame = cap.read()
    fgmask =          


        

Answer 1

Installing contrib dependencies will fix your problem:

pip install opencv-contrib-python

Alternatively, you can use the newer createBackgroundSubtractorMOG2(), which is directly available in cv2:

fgbg = cv2.createBackgroundSubtractorMOG2()
