OpenCV-Python on Windows with Anaconda 3

OpenCV is a open source computer vision library for real-time applications. It supports many programming languages such as C++, C, Python and Java. In this tutorial, OpenCV is installed with Anaconda 3 running on Windows 10. OK, let’s get started.

OpenCV 是一套開發電腦視覺即時處理的函式庫，支援多種程式語言，例如C++、C、Python、Java，本文會在Windows 10上安裝OpenCV與Anaconda 3，我們開始吧！

至 https://www.anaconda.com/download/ 下載 Anaconda 3，使用預設設定來安裝。

2. 使用 Anaconda Prompt (Using Anaconda Prompt)

Open the Anaconda Prompt in Anaconda 3 application folder. And test it with the command:
開啟應用程式Anaconda中的Prompt，輸入下面指令：

conda --version

The conda version will display on the prompt windows:
conda的版本資訊會顯示在 prompt 視窗中：

3. 建立Python環境 (Create an Python Environment)

Enter the following commands in the prompt windows:
在prompt視窗中輸入下面指令：

conda create --name userNameCV python=3.6

activate userNameCV

The “userNamceCV” could be any name you like.
“userNamceCV” 可以任意命名。

Checking the Python version:

檢查 Python 版本：

python--version

4. 安裝 OpenCV 3 與相依套件 (Install OpenCV 3 and Dependencies)

Enter the following commands in the prompt windows:
在prompt視窗中輸入下面指令：

conda install numpy
conda install anaconda-client
conda install -c conda-forge opencv

Now, checking OpenCV 3 is installed.
檢查Python版本：

python
>>> import cv2

>>> cv.__version__

Congratulation!!! Now, you can use Python and OpenCV3.

恭喜，現在你可以用Python來執行OpenCV3了。
