I am trying to learn the MSS python library to stream/reflect what's in the monitor. My intention is to use it with OpenCV to process the image. I got this source code from a youtube tutorial but I am getting the this error: (I can't solve this to run the code). Any tips and guidance are very much appreciated.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\Ryan Webb\Documents\OpenCV-objectDetection\mss.py", line 4, in <module>
from mss.windows import MSS as mss
File "C:\Users\Ryan Webb\Documents\OpenCV-objectDetection\mss.py", line 4, in <module>
from mss.windows import MSS as mss
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mss.windows'; 'mss' is not a package
Here is the source code I copy-pasted from the tutorial:
from mss import mss
import cv2
from PIL import Image
import numpy as np
from time import time
mon = {'top': 100, 'left':200, 'width':1600, 'height':1024}
sct = mss()
while 1:
begin_time = time()
sct_img = sct.grab(mon)
img = Image.frombytes('RGB', (sct_img.size.width, sct_img.size.height), sct_img.rgb)
img_bgr = cv2.cvtColor(np.array(img), cv2.COLOR_RGB2BGR)
cv2.imshow('test', np.array(img_bgr))
print('This frame takes {} seconds.'.format(time()-begin_time))
if cv2.waitKey(25) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
break
I think I properly installed the MSS library here is my pip list results:
