Python3 AttributeError: module 'cv2' has no attribute 'SIFT'_attributeerror: 'cv2.sift' object has no attribute

问题：在用python3使用sift = cv2.SIFT()进行SIFT时候，可能会产生错误：AttributeError: module 'cv2' has no attribute 'SIFT'

import numpy as np
import cv2
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
img1 = cv2.imread('data/queryImage.jpg', 0)  # queryImage
img2 = cv2.imread('data/trainImage.jpg', 0)  # trainImage
# Initiate SIFT detector
sift = cv2.SIFT()
# find the keypoints and descriptors with SIFT
kp1, des1 = sift.detectAndCompute(img1, None)
kp2, des2 = sift.detectAndCompute(img2, None)

报错信息： AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last) <ipython-input-38-d0b969ce1567> in <module>() 5 img2 = cv2.imread('data/trainImage.jpg', 0) # trainImage 6 # Initiate SIFT detector ----> 7 sift = cv2.SIFT() 8 # find the keypoints and descriptors with SIFT 9 kp1, des1 = sift.detectAndCompute(img1, None) AttributeError: module 'cv2' has no attribute 'SIFT'

解决：将sift = cv2.SIFT()替换为：sift = cv2.xfeatures2d.SIFT_create()

分析：opencv将SIFT等算法整合到xfeatures2d集合里面了。写法：sift = cv2.xfeatures2d.SIFT_create()

变更样例：

import numpy as np
import cv2
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
img1 = cv2.imread('data/queryImage.jpg', 0)  # queryImage
img2 = cv2.imread('data/trainImage.jpg', 0)  # trainImage
# Initiate SIFT detector
#sift = cv2.SIFT()  将sift = cv2.SIFT()替换为：sift = cv2.xfeatures2d.SIFT_create()
sift = cv2.xfeatures2d.SIFT_create()
# find the keypoints and descriptors with SIFT
kp1, des1 = sift.detectAndCompute(img1, None)
kp2, des2 = sift.detectAndCompute(img2, None)
