Python Game Programming By Example
By :
OpenCV 2.x and OpenCV 3.x both use the name cv2 for their top-level Python module. However, inside this module, some classes, functions, and constants have been renamed in OpenCV 3.x. Moreover, some functionality is entirely new in OpenCV 3.x, but our project relies only on functionality that is present in both major versions.
To bridge a few of the naming differences between versions 2.x and 3.x, we create a module, CVBackwardCompat. It begins by importing cv2:
import cv2
OpenCV's version string is stored in cv2.__version__. For example, its value may be 2.4.11 or 3.0.0. We can use the following line of code to get the major version number as an integer, such as 2 or 3:
CV_MAJOR_VERSION = int(cv2.__version__.split('.')[0])
For OpenCV 2.x (or earlier), we will inject new names into the imported cv2 module so that all the necessary OpenCV 3.x names will be present. Specifically, we need to create aliases for several constants that have new names in OpenCV...
