Introduction

OpenCV can change its behavior depending on the runtime environment:

• enable extra debugging output or performance tracing
• modify default locations and search paths
• tune some algorithms or general behavior
• enable or disable workarounds, safety features and optimizations

Notes:

• ⭐ marks most popular variables
• variables with names like this VAR_${NAME} describes family of variables, where ${NAME} should be changed to one of predefined values, e.g. VAR_TBB, VAR_OPENMP, ...

Setting environment variable in Windows

In terminal or cmd-file (bat-file):

set MY_ENV_VARIABLE=true
C:\my_app.exe

In GUI:

• Go to "Settings -> System -> About"
• Click on "Advanced system settings" in the right part
• In new window click on the "Environment variables" button
• Add an entry to the "User variables" list

Setting environment variable in Linux

In terminal or shell script:

export MY_ENV_VARIABLE=true
./my_app

or as a single command:

MY_ENV_VARIABLE=true ./my_app

Setting environment variable in Python

import os
os.environ["MY_ENV_VARIABLE"] = "True" # value must be a string
import cv2 # variables set after this may not have effect

Note

This method may not work on all operating systems and/or Python distributions. For example, it works on Ubuntu Linux with system Python interpreter, but doesn't work on Windows 10 with the official Python package. It depends on the ability of a process to change its own environment (OpenCV uses getenv from C++ runtime to read variables).

Types

• non-null - set to anything to enable feature, in some cases can be interpreted as other types (e.g. path)
• bool - 1, True, true, TRUE / 0, False, false, FALSE
• number/_size_ - unsigned number, suffixes MB, Mb, mb, KB, Kb, kb
• string - plain string or can have a structure
• path - to file, to directory
• paths - ;-separated on Windows, :-separated on others
