Read Multiple images on a folder in OpenCv (python)

Question

I want to read multiple images on a same folder using opencv (python). To do that do I need to use for loop or while loop with imread func

Answer 1

This will get all the files in a folder in onlyfiles. And then it will read them all and store them in the array images.

from os import listdir
from os.path import isfile, join
import numpy
import cv2

mypath='/path/to/folder'
onlyfiles = [ f for f in listdir(mypath) if isfile(join(mypath,f)) ]
images = numpy.empty(len(onlyfiles), dtype=object)
for n in range(0, len(onlyfiles)):
  images[n] = cv2.imread( join(mypath,onlyfiles[n]) )
