I tried to follow along but got into an issue at section "Acquiring an image from the GUI". The problem was that open-cv comes prepackaged with its own Qt build which overrides the one installed from PyQt. If you run into a similar issue, you may need to install opencv-python-headless instead of opencv-python-contrib, as per https://forum.qt.io/topic/119109/using-pyqt5-with-opencv-python-cv2-causes-error-could-not-load-qt-platform-plugin-xcb-even-though-it-was-found/10
