Project 'cv_bridge' can not find opencv

[cnpcshangbo]

Hi,
I am compiling https://github.com/thien94/vision_to_mavros.
I have installed mavros and vision_opencv from apt command. However, Project 'cv_bridge' can not find opencv.

CMake Error at /opt/ros/melodic/share/cv_bridge/cmake/cv_bridgeConfig.cmake:113 (message):
  Project 'cv_bridge' specifies '/usr/include/opencv' as an include dir,
  which is not found.  It does neither exist as an absolute directory nor in
  '${{prefix}}//usr/include/opencv'.  Check the issue tracker
  'https://github.com/ros-perception/vision_opencv/issues' and consider
  creating a ticket if the problem has not been reported yet.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  /opt/ros/melodic/share/catkin/cmake/catkinConfig.cmake:76 (find_package)
  vision_to_mavros/CMakeLists.txt:10 (find_package)

Do you know which environment variable should I set to let Project 'cv_bridge' find opencv?
Thanks,
Bo

I am getting this same error when compiling https://github.com/IntelRealSense/realsense-ros

i had the same problem (jetson xavier + ubuntu 18.04 + ros melodic)

we fixed it like this:

change the file:

/opt/ros/melodic/share/cv_bridge/cmake/cv_bridgeConfig.cmake
change this line:

set(_include_dirs "include;/usr/include;/usr/include/opencv")
to

set(_include_dirs "include;/usr/include;/usr/include/opencv4")

Thank you.

It seems this error is related to OpenCV on Jetson.

i had the same problem，but I don‘t solve it. so can you tell me how to resolve ir.

[cnpcshangbo]

@yyyll I didn't solve this. I commented the cv_bridge related stuff from https://github.com/thien94/vision_to_mavros since I don't need that.

[yyyll]

ok,I understand

set(_include_dirs "include;/usr/include;/usr/include/opencv4")

This fix worked for me as well on:
Nvidia Jetson TX2 with Jetpack 4.4.1 (Ubuntu 18.04) and ROS Melodic.

Thanks :)!

Opencv4 is installed by Nvidia's jetson repo, which replaced the original opencv3.
The most simple way to solve this is to comment out all the repo inside /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia-l4t-apt-source.list , then apt update and reinstall libopencv-dev.
Check this link for help.

This works! Thanks a lot

Project 'image_geometry' specifies '/usr/include/opencv' as an include dir,
which is not found. It does neither exist as an absolute directory nor in
'${{prefix}}//usr/include/opencv'. Check the website
'http://www.ros.org/wiki/image_geometry' for information and consider
reporting the problem.

so , how do i solve this problem

Thank you.

But this file not allowing to edit, can you tell us how did you change ?

[sh0w]

you can change the file permissions to make the file editable using "chmod". you can find lots of resources for this online, just google something like "change file permissions linux chmod"

I faced the same issue on Jetson Xavier AGX. Thanks to @sh0w the problem is now solved.
If you want to quickly fix it in a dockerfile, add the following command before building the workspace:

sed -i 's/set(_include_dirs "include;\/usr\/include;\/usr\/include\/opencv")/set(_include_dirs "include;\/usr\/include;\/usr\/include\/opencv4")/g' /opt/ros/melodic/share/cv_bridge/cmake/cv_bridgeConfig.cmake

Could we leave a thumbs up on this comment if this issue still persists for active distros on ubuntu 20.04 and ubuntu22.04?
