Answer 1

I used to have similar problem as @srihegde said you can try to uninstall opencv-contrib-python package and reinstall again. You can also try to uninstall opencv-python package if you have one, since it might mess with the packages too.

This helped for me.

Uninstall:

pip3 uninstall opencv-contrib-python
pip3 uninstall opencv-python

And then install:

pip3 install opencv-contrib-python
pip3 install opencv-python
