How do I read an image file and decode it using Python?
We use cv2. imread() function to read an image. The image should be placed in the current working directory or else we need to provide the absoluate path.
The word "read" is vague, but here is an example which reads a jpeg file using the Image class, and prints information about it.
from PIL import Image jpgfile = Image.open("picture.jpg") print(jpgfile.bits, jpgfile.size, jpgfile.format)
