  • unfortunately, cvblobslib is from the stone-age, and relies on opencv1.x . if you have a more recent cv2 module around, you probably don't need cvblobslib, almost all the functionality could be done with onboard means, e.g. cv2.findContours() – berak Apr 15 '14 at 10:07
  • @berak is it a version problem?? – sankar Apr 15 '14 at 10:30
  • yes. cvblobs relies on an outdated opencv version. ( you probably got something more recent installed, libcxcore is gone since 5 or 6 years already ) – berak Apr 15 '14 at 10:32
  • @berak oh fine.. will check it and tell u – sankar Apr 15 '14 at 10:34
  • just take a 2 minute break, and find out if you really need it at all, or if instead you can use cv2.findContours() or cv2.moments() ( the recommended way). apart from the installation problem, the code used in cvblobslib will be incompatible with today's (e.g numpy) – berak Apr 15 '14 at 10:35
  • yes definitely needed blobs package. i'm getting the above error while installing blobs package. – sankar Apr 15 '14 at 10:39
  • i'd just strongly advise you *against* using it. and code that depends on that *will* be horribly outdated, too. – berak Apr 15 '14 at 10:40
  • thanks. but i have to refer that code only.thats why i'm trying to solve this type of error which i mentioned above. – sankar Apr 15 '14 at 10:44
