I got below error message when I run model_main_tf2.py on Object Detection API:

The weird thing is I run the same code before, it worked well but now it gives me an error.

The same thing occurred to me yesterday when I used Colab. A possible reason may be that the version of opencv-python(4.1.2.30) does not match opencv-python-headless(4.5.5.62). Or the latest version 4.5.5 may have something wrong...
I uninstalled opencv-python-headless==4.5.5.62 and installed 4.1.2.30 and it fixed.
The same thing occurred to me. My status:
C:\Windows\system32>pip list |findstr opencv
opencv-python 4.5.2.52
opencv-python-headless 4.5.5.62
The version isn't same. So I first uninstall headless:
pip uninstall opencv-python-headless==4.5.5.62
Then reinstall headless 4.5.2.52 with opencv-python package.
pip install opencv-python-headless==4.5.2.52
The problem is the resolved.
Try uninstall and install(version 4.1.2.30) Headless main modules package
!pip uninstall opencv-python-headless
!pip install opencv-python-headless==4.1.2.30
I've had the same issue and the problem was with opencv versioning:
C:\Windows\system32>pip list |findstr opencv
opencv-python 4.5.2.52
opencv-python-headless 4.5.5.62
As you can see the versions are not the same, so first uninstall headless:
pip uninstall opencv-python==4.5.2.52
And then reinstall opencv-python 4.5.5.62 with opencv-python package:
pip install opencv-python-headless==4.5.5.62
I had the same issue and fixed it by just uninstalling and reinstalling opencv.
pip uninstall opencv-python
pip install opencv-python
After I updated opencv this error occured, in my case
pip list | grep opencv
showed:
opencv-contrib-python 4.5.3.56
opencv-python 4.5.5.62
I upgraded opencv-contrib-python
python -m pip install --upgrade opencv-contrib-python
and the error disappeared.
In case anyone else is having this issue on docker: I was trying to use version 4.3.0.38 and I couldn't find any pre-installed OpenCV on the docker image I was working with. Installing the package with conda install -c conda-forge opencv=4.3.0 instead of pip worked for me.
In my case, the following method was a solution.
pip list | findstr opencv opencv-contrib-python 4.5.5.64 opencv-python 4.5.3.56
I installed opencv earlier than opencv contribution. So, I decided to make their versions the same.
pip uninstall opencv-python==4.5.3.56 pip install opencv-python==4.5.5.64
The problem was gone. Thanks.
