Installing from source with a compiled version of OpenCV

[KostadinovShalon]

Hello, I have been recently working with a compiled version of OpenCV (with GPU capabilities) and anomalib. I realized that if I install locally via cloning the repository and performing pip install -e . then OpenCV is installed again (removing my compiled installation).

I suggest checking if OpenCV is installed using the setup.py script, as it is done here in mmcv. At the moment, I had to remove the requirement from requirements/base.txt, but I think that checking for cv2 in setup.py is cleaner.
