I took the following png file from VOC2012 dataset.
I used the following simple code:
import numpy as np
from PIL import Image
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
%matplotlib inline
img = Image.open(filename) # filename is the png file in question
img.show()
arr = np.array(img)
plt.imshow(arr, cmap='gray')
It produced the following image:
It is strange since the result is not the gray-scaled image of the original one. The above code is also used in deeplab tensorflow dataset to remove the colormap in the ground-truth images.
Anyone knows why? Many thanks!
The problem is that your image is palettised. So, rather than storing a full RGB triplet for each pixel, there is a list of 256 RGB triplets and then at each pixel location it just stores the index into the list - which saves space.
I think you need this:
#!/usr/local/bin/python3
import numpy as np
from PIL import Image
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
#%matplotlib inline
img = Image.open('cycle.png').convert('RGB').convert('L')
img.show()
arr = np.array(img)
plt.imshow(arr, cmap='gray')
In response to your further question in the comments, yes, the palette entry 255 represents E0E0C0
. I checked using ImageMagick to show image details and dump the palette, using the following command in the Terminal. See the list line below:

The image is in 'P' mode, it has a palette that we can access (with index) and get the RGB values of the colors in the palette and convert them to gray values, for each pixel, the code shown below.
import numpy as np
from PIL import Image
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
def rgb2gray(R, G, B):
return 0.2989 * R + 0.5870 * G + 0.1140 * B
img = Image.open(filename) # filename is the png file in question
pal = img.getpalette() # get the palette
arr = np.zeros((img.height, img.width))
for i in range(arr.shape[0]):
for j in range(arr.shape[1]):
idx = img.getpixel((j,i)) # get the index of the pixel in the palette
R, G, B = pal[3*idx], pal[3*idx+1], pal[3*idx+2] # get the R,G,B values of the pixel
arr[i,j] = rgb2gray(R, G, B) # convert to grayscale
plt.imshow(arr, cmap='gray')
with the following output
