Reading images in python

Question

I am trying to read a png image in python. The imread function in scipy is being deprecated and they recommend using imageio

Answer 1

For the better answer, you can use these lines of code. Here is the example maybe help you :

image = cv2.imread('/home/pictures/1.jpg')
plt.imshow(image)
plt.show()

In imread() you can pass the directory .so you can also use str() and + to combine dynamic directories and fixed directory like this:

path = '/home/pictures/'
for i in range(2) :
    image = cv2.imread(str(path)+'1.jpg')
    plt.imshow(image)
    plt.show()

Both are the same.
