How to fix "AttributeError: 'JpegImageFile' object has no attribute 'read'?

Question

I am a beginner and I am learning to code an image classifier. My goal is to create a predict function.

Any suggestion to fix it?

In this project, I want to use the predict function to recognize different flower species. So I could check their labels later.

Attempt to fix: Unfortunately, the error is still persistent. I have already tried these codes:

img = process_image(Image.open(image))
img = torch.from_numpy(img).type(torch.FloatTensor) 

This is the error that I need to fix now.

    return labels, probs

All I want is to get these similar result. Thank you!

Converting image to RGB after openning solved the issue for me

   PIL.Image.open(image_path).convert('RGB')
