imread: Image reading library
Project description
Simple module with a small number of functions:
- imread
Reads an image file
- imread_multi
Reads an image file with multiple images. Currently, TIFF and STK (a TIFF sub-based format) support this function.
- imsave
Writes an image file
This grew out of frustration at current image loading solutions in Python, in either my packages [mahotas] or packages from others [scikits.image, for example].
The relationship with numpy is very contained and this could be easily repurposed to load images in other frameworks, even other programming languages.
Dependencies
To install on debian/ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install libpng12-dev libtiff4-dev libwebp-dev
To install on Mac:
sudo port install libpng tiff webp
Bug Reports
Please report any bugs either on github or by email to luis@luispedro.org
If you are not sure of whether this is the correct behaviour, you can discuss this on the pythonvision mailing list
If at all possible, include a small image as a test case.
