OpenCV-Python ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found

问题

I am working on windows 10 with Python 3.6.0 (Anaconda3) and jupyter notebook. I have successfully installed and imported OpenCV-Python with the help of comments in this post. Now the problem is that If I am importing opencv (ijmport cv2) from the same command prompt where I installed the opencv, it is importing without any error. But if I am importing opencv from another command prompt, then it is giving me this error: ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

I can't attach any picture to show this as my reputation is 3. So I am explaining it here.

Command Prompt1:

C:\Users\Prachi\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-
32\Anaconda3\Scripts>pip install opencv_python-3.2.0+contrib-cp36-cp36m-
win_amd64.whl

>>>import cv2

Command Prompt2:

   from . import cv2

This is why, whenever I am opening new command prompt to start coding, I have to install opencv again and then use it. Hope this explaination helps in understanding the problem.

You may try this conda install command for installing OpenCV 3.2.0 for Python 3.6. The conda-forge repository does have OpenCV 3.2.0 binary for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows.

conda install -c conda-forge opencv=3.2.0

If you need opencv_contrib modules, you can download the binary from this unoffice website and install it to Anaconda through pip install.

pip install opencv_python‑3.2.0+contrib‑cp36‑cp36m‑win32.whl (x86 Win)
pip install opencv_python‑3.2.0+contrib‑cp36‑cp36m‑win_amd64.whl (x64 Win)

Take note the package installed by pip will not be shown by conda list command.

Then type import cv2 in command prompt to verify if the installation is success as below.

If you have problem on import cv2, double check Windows Environment Variables setup as below.

OPENCV_DIR points to your OpenCV executable files, e.g. C:\Program Files\OpenCV 3.2.0\x64\vc14
PATH=%PATH%;%OPENCV_DIR%\bin

I solved it accidentally by doing these things:

Navigated to the Anaconda installation directory:

cd C:\Users\Prachi.................\Anaconda3\Scripts

Installed opencv from conda-forge repository

conda install -c conda-forge opencv

This installed OpenCV 3.2.0-np113py36_203 conda-forge

In the same command prompt, I typed jupyter notebook.

And import cv2 executed successfully in the jupyter notebook window.
