How to propely import cv2 into a python service

[aleuser]

I’ve been trying to use cv2 in a python service to have the drone preform image processing, however doing so stops the mission entirely. I’m trying to understand if there’s something else I need to include like in the yaml file or somewhere else to get this working properly. I read that like “math”, cv was included with Parrot, so I’m a little unsure on why this error is occurring. Here below is my current yaml file with opencv4 included. Any details would be appreciated.

Hi @aleuser,

Yes, opencv4 is included in the drone, but only for C/C++. It is not built for python (in the drone).

We advise against trying to use python for image processing in the mission Air SDK (with opencv4 for example). Instead, we recommend using C/C++, which offers better performance in the drone.
