Hm weird. I thought I tried that already. I will check it again next weekend, when I have time.

But Thanks a lot for your reply :))

Hello,
I tried very hard to get the YEYE-MIPI-IMX462 working with openCV on a raspberry pi4. But not even the example VEYE-OpenCV sketches are working my configuration.

I want to explain my problem and system as detailed as possible:

My installation steps:

wget https://github.com/veyeimaging/raspberrypi_v4l2/releases/latest/download/raspberrypi_v4l2.tgz
tar -xzvf raspberrypi_v4l2.tgz
cd raspberrypi_v4l2/release/
chmod +x *
sudo ./install_driver.sh veyecam2m

sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0-tools
sudo apt-get install libx264-dev libjpeg-dev
sudo apt-get install libgstreamer1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-dev gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly gstreamer1.0-tools gstreamer1.0-gl gstreamer1.0-gtk3 gstreamer1.0-plugins-good gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad

sudo apt install python3-opencv
pip install opencv-python

I already tried:

pip uninstall opencv-python
sudo apt install python3-opencv

like it was written in that post:
https://forum.veye.cc/topic/274/opencv-无法找到摄像头/9?_=1685312066853
But then the line

import cv2

causes an error, because it is not found

At least the Camera works:
Veye Cam IMX462 Camera works with VLC
also over Gstreamer with following Command:

gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src io-mode=dmabuf device=/dev/video0 ! "video/x-raw,format=(string)UYVY, width=(int)1920, height=(int)1080,framerate=(fraction)30/1" ! v4l2convert capture-io-mode=dmabuf output-io-mode=dmabuf ! autovideosink sync=false -v

I tried already 32bit and 64bit Pi OS (Bullseye)

But when I try out the openCV examples on Github
https://github.com/veyeimaging/raspberrypi_v4l2/tree/main/samples/opencv/yuv_camera
then I get following errors:

I also tried to write a pipeline with Gstreamer to OpenCV
with pipelines like following:

cap = cv2.VideoCapture("gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video0  ! video/x-raw,format=(string)UYVY, width=(int)1920, height=(int)1080,framerate=(fraction)30/1 ! videoscale ! video/x-raw,width=640,height=480 ! videoconvert ! video/x-raw, format=(string)BGR ! appsink", cv2.CAP_GSTREAMER)

But I was not able to get the Veye Cam IMX 462 in OpenCV working.
I was spending the whole Weekend trying to get this working, but I have no further Idea what to try. Please help me :))))

Thank you very very much in advance!
