Install OpenCV for Python on Mac OS X

In our previous post we described how to develop driver assistance systems on Android devices. We are using OpenCV SDK for Android, but during the app development we had to test & calibrate the cameras using a computer. Out platform for now is Mac OS X (Yosemite). Therefore, we needed to install & configure OpenCV for Python on Mac.

Install OpenCV

The “traditional” way didn’t work out: downloading OpenCV zip from their website and then compile it & link it with Python. There is a simpler way to do it using Homebrew.

Homerew is a package manager for Mac OS X, more info can be found on their website.

Installing brew is simpler than you think, just run this in terminal:

1

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

You might need to install Python first:

1

brew install python

Add OpenCV using the following commands:

1

brew tap homebrew/science

Install OpenCV:

1

brew install opencv

Your OpenCV installation will be located at:

1

/usr/local/Cellar/opencv/2.4.10/

Python setup

The final part is to setup Python, use the following:

1

2

3

cat ~/.bash_profile | grep PYTHONPATH

ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/opencv/2.4.10/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cv.py cv.py

ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/opencv/2.4.10/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cv2.so cv2.so

That’s it! If you have issue with Python when running some OpenCV samples, you need to make sure that you have numpy & matplotlib installed. You can do this using brew, in terminal enter:

1

2

pip install numpy

pip install matplotlib

Demo

Here is a simple Python sample to test out that everything works fine:

import cv2

import numpy as np

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

img = cv2.imread('road.png', 0)

plt.imshow(img, cmap='gray', interpolation='bicubic')

plt.xticks([]), plt.yticks([]) # to hide tick values on X and Y axis

plt.show()
