python - ImportError: DLL load failed while importing _rolling_ball_cy:

Question

I am a newbie to Python and working on a small opencv application. I need local_threshold from scikit-image but getting below error :

Traceback (most recent call last): File "D:/Projects/Python/Document_Scanner/main.py", line 6, in from skimage.filters import threshold_local File "C:Users ash2AppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython38-32libsite-packagesskimagefilters_init_.py", line 4, in from .edges import (sobel, sobel_h, sobel_v, File "C:Users ash2AppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython38-32libsite-packagesskimagefiltersedges.py", line 18, in from ..restoration.uft import laplacian File "C:Users ash2AppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython38-32libsite-packagesskimage estoration_init_.py", line 13, in from .rolling_ball import rolling_ball, ball_kernel, ellipsoid_kernel File "C:Users ash2AppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython38-32libsite-packagesskimage estoration olling_ball.py", line 3, in from ._rolling_ball_cy import apply_kernel, apply_kernel_nan ImportError: DLL load failed while importing _rolling_ball_cy: The specified module could not be found.

I tried reverting to older version of scikit-image , but still getting error. My current version of scikit-image is 0.18.0
