Python - AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'QueryFrame'

I'm really new to OpenCV but I need to find a way to detect faces using a webcam. I have found following code from here. This is the original code. I'm using Python 2.7 and opencv 3.0.0-beta version and Windows 8.1.

import cv2 as cv
import time
import Image

def DetectFace(image, faceCascade):

    min_size = (20,20)
    image_scale = 2
    haar_scale = 1.1
    min_neighbors = 3
    haar_flags = 0

    grayscale = cv.CreateImage((image.width, image.height), 8, 1)
    smallImage = cv.CreateImage(
            (
                cv.Round(image.width / image_scale),
                cv.Round(image.height / image_scale)
            ), 8 ,1)

    cv.CvtColor(image, grayscale, cv.CV_BGR2GRAY)
    cv.Resize(grayscale, smallImage, cv.CV_INTER_LINEAR)
    cv.EqualizeHist(smallImage, smallImage)

    faces = cv.HaarDetectObjects(
            smallImage, faceCascade, cv.CreateMemStorage(0),
            haar_scale, min_neighbors, haar_flags, min_size)

    if faces:
        for ((x, y, w, h), n) in faces:
            pt1 = (int(x * image_scale), int(y * image_scale))
            pt2 = (int((x + w) * image_scale), int((y + h) * image_scale))
            cv.Rectangle(image, pt1, pt2, cv.RGB(255, 0, 0), 5, 8, 0)

    return image

capture = cv.CaptureFromCAM(0)
faceCascade = cv.Load("haarcascades/haarcascade_frontalface_alt.xml")

while (cv.WaitKey(15)==-1):
    img = cv.QueryFrame(capture)
    image = DetectFace(img, faceCascade)
    cv.ShowImage("face detection test", image)

cv.ReleaseCapture(capture)

When I was running this program I've got errors saying, No module named Image. I commented it and run again and did following changes to the code.

capture = cv.CaptureFromCAM(0) to capture = cv.VideoCapture(0) and WaitKey to waitKey according to the errors popped up.

But now it says AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'QueryFrame'

I think there is a version problem or something. I've already included haarcascades files as well. Please help me to correct that error and run this code well. As I mention I'm a fresher to opencv.

In cv2, you use:

result, img = capture.read()  #capture is a cv2.VideoCapture instance

instead of QueryFrame.

You can also queue a frame for capture using

capture.grab()

followed by

result, img = capture.retrieve()

to actually retrieve it. Use this second method if you want to queue up a frame, then do other stuff while you wait for it.

Edit:

You clearly are just trying to run a bunch of OpenCV1 functions using OpenCV2, and are going to have a lot of problems if you don't read the OpenCV2 documentation to know what functions have changed and what hasn't. StackOverflow isn't a "convert this old code" service, so I'm not going to go through every single old function in your program.

However, to answer your follow up question, in OpenCV2 it is recommended to just create images using the numpy.zeros() function (as opposed to the old cv.CreateImage function).

cv2 does not have a method QueryFrame, it is located in cv.

import cv
img = cv.QueryFrame(capture)
