Answer 1

I got this error and all I did was to uninstall opencv packages and install them in the following order.

STEPS

open Anaconda Prompt by running as administrator and type the following commands.

$ pip uninstall opencv-python

$ pip uninstall opencv-contrib-python

Then type the following commands

$ pip install opencv-contrib-python==3.4.2.16

$ pip install opencv-python==3.4.2.16

This solved my problem. Hope this solves yours.!!
