2. OpenCV
If some library is not working in google colab, try headless
i.e.
!pip install opencv-contrib-python-headless
The headless
version of OpenCV, as in opencv-contrib-python-headless
, is a variant of OpenCV that does not include any GUI components. This means it lacks functionalities for displaying images or opening GUI windows, which are usually handled by modules like cv2.imshow()
.
This version is ideal for server environments or cloud platforms where there’s no need for GUI support, as it reduces the package’s size and avoids unnecessary dependencies.
