OpenCV install opencv_contrib on Windows

Question

I am using OpenCV 3.1.0 , Python 2.7.11 and Windows 10. I want to build the extra modules (opencv_contrib

Answer 1

For Python 3.6/3.5 you could use *.whl (Python on Wheels) module from here:

pip install opencv_python-3.2.0+contrib-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl

For Python 2.7 there is no opencv+contrib in one module, but you could separately install opencv module without contrib from here at the end of the page and then add opencv-contrib-python module:

pip install opencv_python-3.2.0.7-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl
pip install opencv-contrib-python

Do not mix opencv+contrib opencv-python (3.2.0+contrib) and opencv-contrib-python (3.2.0.7) modules, otherwise your "import cv2" stop to work till you delete opencv-contrib-python module.
