Answer 1

I was having a similar problem, and could not come to a good solution with cv2.imshow() in the Jupyter Notebook. I followed this stackoverflow answer, just using matplotlib to display the image.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# load image using cv2....and do processing.
plt.imshow(cv2.cvtColor(image, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB))
# as opencv loads in BGR format by default, we want to show it in RGB.
plt.show()
