python下cv.waitKey无响应原因

按下键的时候，焦点要落在窗口上，不能落在cmd窗口上。

另外，一般在imshow()后要使用waitKey()，给图像绘制留下时间，不然窗口会出现无响应情况，并且图像无法显示出来。

int waitKey(int delay=0) 

- 延时delay = 0 函数则延时无限长，必须有键按下才继续执行。 

- 延时delay > 0 函数返回值为按下的键的ASCII码值，超时则返回-1。

OpenCV: waitKey

waitKey 

Waits for a pressed key.

C++: int waitKey(int delay=0) 

Python: cv2.waitKey([delay]) → retval

Parameters: delay – Delay in milliseconds. 0 is the special value that means “forever”.

The function waitKey waits for a key event infinitely (when \texttt{delay}\leq 0 ) or for delay milliseconds, when it is positive. Since the OS has a minimum time between switching threads, the function will not wait exactly delay ms, it will wait at least delay ms, depending on what else is running on your computer at that time. It returns the code of the pressed key or -1 if no key was pressed before the specified time had elapsed.

Note 

This function is the only method in HighGUI that can fetch and handle events, so it needs to be called periodically for normal event processing unless HighGUI is used within an environment that takes care of event processing.

Note 

The function only works if there is at least one HighGUI window created and the window is active. If there are several HighGUI windows, any of them can be active.

也就是说必须在有窗口显示的情况下，waitKey才有作用，否则无效。

比如调用cv.waitKey(0)，如果此时没有活动的窗口，该函数立刻返回-1
