+**Note:**
+If you would like to use albumentations, we suggest using pip install -U albumentations --no-binary qudida,albumentations. If you simply use pip install albumentations>=0.3.2, it will install opencv-python-headless simultaneously (even though you have already installed opencv-python). We recommended checking the environment after installing albumentations to ensure that opencv-python and opencv-python-headless are not installed at the same time, because it might cause unexpected issues if they both installed. Please refer to [official documentation](https://albumentations.ai/docs/getting_started/installation/#note-on-opencv-dependencies) for more details.
+
 ## Verify the installation
 
 To verify whether MMSegmentation is installed correctly, we provide some sample codes to run an inference demo.

+**注意：**
+如果你想使用 albumentations，我们建议使用 pip install-U albumentations --no-binary qudida,albumentations 进行安装。如果您仅使用 pip install albumentations>=0.3.2 进行安装，它将同时安装 opencv-python-headless（即使您已经安装了 opencv-python）。我们建议在安装了 albumentations 后检查环境，以确保没有同时安装 opencv-python 和 opencv-python-headless，因为如果两者都安装了，可能会导致意外问题。请参阅[官方文档](https://albumentations.ai/docs/getting_started/installation/#note-on-opencv-dependencies)了解更多详细信息。

 ## 验证安装
 
 为了验证 MMSegmentation 是否安装正确，我们提供了一些示例代码来执行模型推理。
