Use headless builds of OpenCV #33

Closed willgraf closed 3 years ago

willgraf commented 3 years ago

From the opencv-python-headless README:

Packages for server (headless) environments (such as Docker, cloud environments etc.), no GUI library dependencies

These packages are smaller than the two other packages above because they do not contain any GUI functionality (not compiled with Qt / other GUI components). This means that the packages avoid a heavy dependency chain to X11 libraries and you will have for example smaller Docker images as a result. You should always use these packages if you do not use cv2.imshow et al. or you are using some other package (such as PyQt) than OpenCV to create your GUI.

Since we only use cv2 for resizing images, we should use the headless build.
