Capstone Project Computer Vision coin classification– Starting to work with Visual Studio

Hello,

I have installed OpenCV and VS Code correctly --> and am running VS Code out of the proper environment from my Anaconda Navigator.

HOWEVER, once inside Visual Studio--> I still have an issue with the first two import commands-- 1) import numpy as np and 2) import cv2-- with the knock on effect rendering errors to the ensuing code.

When I try to run the ensuing code as follows::

1. img = cv2.imread('capstone_coins.png',cv2.IMREAD_GRAYSCALE)
2. original_image = cv2.imread('capstone_coins.png',1)
3. img = cv2.GaussianBlur(img, (5,5), 0)
4. cv2.imshow('Detected Coins', img)

I Receive the following errors :

1. {"Module 'cv2' has no 'imread' member",
   "source": "pylint",
   "startLineNumber": 4,
   "startColumn": 7,
2. Module 'cv2' has no 'IMREAD_GRAYSCALE' member",
   "source": "pylint",
   "startLineNumber": 4,
   "startColumn": 39,
   "endLineNumber": 4,
   "endColumn": 39
3. Module 'cv2' has no 'GaussianBlur' member",
   "source": "pylint",
   "startLineNumber": 6,
   "startColumn": 7,
   "endLineNumber": 6,
   "endColumn": 7
4. "message": "Module 'cv2' has no 'imshow' member",
   "source": "pylint",
   "startLineNumber": 7,
   "startColumn": 1,
   "endLineNumber": 7,
   "endColumn": 1

In summary:

1. When I run the "import numpy as np" and " import cv2" lines-- everything seems fine as in no errors in the: i) terminal or 2) "problems" tabs  (see screen shot 1 attached)
2. BUT, I run the ensuing code I get an cv2 has no "imread' member error or imread_GRAYSCALE member ( see attached screenshot error_2)
3. Then as I  run further code Ireceive an error for both "cv2 has no gaussianblur" member and cv2 has no "imshow" member ( see attached screenshot error_3)

--> This leads me to believe that cv2 was not properly imported from the start??
Any help would be greatly appreciated... I have been stuck on this issue for many days and have tried multiple debugging methods and alternatives-- to no avail!!

Thanks,

Matt
