I want to convert an rgb image to 2d matrix in gray. How can I do this using loops and PIL? I don't want to use a canned function. How can I do that ?
I manipulate a lot of images as NumPy arrays like so:
import numpy as np
from PIL import Image
# Load image
imgIn = Image.open(''c:/path/to/my/input/file.jpg'')
imgArray = np.array(imgIn)
#Do whatever manipulations to the image you need to, e.g.,
grayArray = np.mean(imgArray,axis=2)
#Save the final result
imgOut = Image.fromarray(grayArray)
imgOut.save('c:/path/to/my/output/file.jpg')
I am trying to read a image file using PIL and then obtaining the raw pixel values in form of numpy array and then i am trying to put together the values to form a copy of original image. The code does not produce any runtime error but the image formed ("my.png") is unreadable.
from PIL import Image
import numpy as np
img_filename = "image.png"
img = Image.open(img_filename)
img = img.convert("RGB")
img.show()
aa = np.array(img.getdata())
alpha = Image.fromarray(aa,"RGB")
alpha.save('my.png')
alpha.show()
np.array(img.getdata()) gives a 2D array of shape (X, 3), where X depends on the dimensions of the original image.
Just change the relevant line of code to:
aa = np.array(img)
This will assign a 3D array to aa, and thus solve your problem.
I'm trying to open an RGB picture, convert it to grayscale, then represent it as a list of floats scaled from 0 to 1. At last, I want to convert it back again to an Image. However, in the code below, something in my conversion procedure fails, as img.show() (the original image) displays correctly while img2.show() display an all black picture. What am I missing?
import numpy as np
from PIL import Image
ocr_img_path = "./ocr-test.jpg"
# Open image, convert to grayscale
img = Image.open(ocr_img_path).convert("L")
# Convert to list
img_data = img.getdata()
img_as_list = np.asarray(img_data, dtype=float) / 255
img_as_list = img_as_list.reshape(img.size)
# Convert back to image
img_mul = img_as_list * 255
img_ints = np.rint(img_mul)
img2 = Image.new("L", img_as_list.shape)
img2.putdata(img_ints.astype(int))
img.show()
img2.show()
The image used
The solution is to flatten the array before putting it into the image. I think PIL interprets multidimensional arrays as different color bands.
img2.putdata(img_ints.astype(int).flatten())
For a more efficient way of loading images, check out

but use image.tobytes() (Pillow) instead of image.tostring() (PIL).

I have 5 pictures and i want to convert each image to 1d array and put it in a matrix as vector. I want to be able to convert each vector to image again.
img = Image.open('orig.png').convert('RGBA')
a = np.array(img)
I'm not familiar with all the features of numpy and wondered if there other tools I can use.
Thanks.
import numpy as np
from PIL import Image
img = Image.open('orig.png').convert('RGBA')
arr = np.array(img)
# record the original shape
shape = arr.shape
# make a 1-dimensional view of arr
flat_arr = arr.ravel()
# convert it to a matrix
vector = np.matrix(flat_arr)
# do something to the vector
vector[:,::10] = 128
# reform a numpy array of the original shape
arr2 = np.asarray(vector).reshape(shape)
# make a PIL image
img2 = Image.fromarray(arr2, 'RGBA')
img2.show()
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
img = plt.imread('orig.png')
rows,cols,colors = img.shape # gives dimensions for RGB array
img_size = rows*cols*colors
img_1D_vector = img.reshape(img_size)
# you can recover the orginal image with:
img2 = img_1D_vector.reshape(rows,cols,colors)
Note that img.shape returns a tuple, and multiple assignment to rows,cols,colors as above lets us compute the number of elements needed to convert to and from a 1D vector.
You can show img and img2 to see they are the same with:
plt.imshow(img) # followed by
plt.show() # to show the first image, then
plt.imshow(img2) # followed by
plt.show() # to show you the second image.
Keep in mind in the python terminal you have to close the plt.show() window to come back to the terminal to show the next image.
For me it makes sense and only relies on matplotlib.pyplot. It also works for jpg and tif images, etc. The png I tried it on has float32 dtype and the jpg and tif I tried it on have uint8 dtype (dtype = data type); each seems to work.
I hope this is helpful.
I used to convert 2D to 1D image-array using this code:
import numpy as np
from scipy import misc
from sklearn.decomposition import PCA
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
face = misc.imread('face1.jpg');
f=misc.face(gray=True)
[width1,height1]=[f.shape[0],f.shape[1]]
f2=f.reshape(width1*height1);
but I don't know yet how to change it back to 2D later in code, Also note that not all the imported libraries are necessary, I hope it helps
I have an RGB image. I want to convert it to numpy array. I did the following
im = cv.LoadImage("abc.tiff")
a = numpy.asarray(im)
It creates an array with no shape. I assume it is a iplimage object.
You can use newer OpenCV python interface (if I'm not mistaken it is available since OpenCV 2.2). It natively uses numpy arrays:
import cv2
im = cv2.imread("abc.tiff",mode='RGB')
print(type(im))
result:
<type 'numpy.ndarray'>
PIL (Python Imaging Library) and Numpy work well together.
I use the following functions.
from PIL import Image
import numpy as np
def load_image( infilename ) :
img = Image.open( infilename )
img.load()
data = np.asarray( img, dtype="int32" )
return data
def save_image( npdata, outfilename ) :
img = Image.fromarray( np.asarray( np.clip(npdata,0,255), dtype="uint8"), "L" )
img.save( outfilename )
The 'Image.fromarray' is a little ugly because I clip incoming data to [0,255], convert to bytes, then create a grayscale image. I mostly work in gray.
An RGB image would be something like:
out_img = Image.fromarray( ycc_uint8, "RGB" )
out_img.save( "ycc.tif" )
You can also use matplotlib for this.
from matplotlib.image import imread
img = imread('abc.tiff')
print(type(img))
output:
<class 'numpy.ndarray'>
As of today, your best bet is to use:
img = cv2.imread(image_path) # reads an image in the BGR format
img = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB) # BGR -> RGB
You'll see img will be a numpy array of type:
<class 'numpy.ndarray'>
Late answer, but I've come to prefer the imageio module to the other alternatives
import imageio
im = imageio.imread('abc.tiff')
Similar to cv2.imread(), it produces a numpy array by default, but in RGB form.
You need to use cv.LoadImageM instead of cv.LoadImage:
In [1]: import cv
In [2]: import numpy as np
In [3]: x = cv.LoadImageM('im.tif')
In [4]: im = np.asarray(x)
In [5]: im.shape
Out[5]: (487, 650, 3)
You can get numpy array of rgb image easily by using numpy and Image from PIL
import numpy as np
from PIL import Image
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
im = Image.open('*image_name*') #These two lines
im_arr = np.array(im) #are all you need
plt.imshow(im_arr) #Just to verify that image array has been constructed properly
When using the answer from David Poole I get a SystemError with gray scale PNGs and maybe other files. My solution is:
import numpy as np
from PIL import Image
img = Image.open( filename )
try:
data = np.asarray( img, dtype='uint8' )
except SystemError:
data = np.asarray( img.getdata(), dtype='uint8' )
Actually img.getdata() would work for all files, but it's slower, so I use it only when the other method fails.
load the image by using following syntax:-
from keras.preprocessing import image
X_test=image.load_img('four.png',target_size=(28,28),color_mode="grayscale"); #loading image and then convert it into grayscale and with it's target size
X_test=image.img_to_array(X_test); #convert image into array
OpenCV image format supports the numpy array interface. A helper function can be made to support either grayscale or color images. This means the BGR -> RGB conversion can be conveniently done with a numpy slice, not a full copy of image data.
Note: this is a stride trick, so modifying the output array will also change the OpenCV image data. If you want a copy, use .copy() method on the array!
import numpy as np
def img_as_array(im):
"""OpenCV's native format to a numpy array view"""
w, h, n = im.width, im.height, im.channels
modes = {1: "L", 3: "RGB", 4: "RGBA"}
if n not in modes:
raise Exception('unsupported number of channels: {0}'.format(n))
out = np.asarray(im)
if n != 1:
out = out[:, :, ::-1] # BGR -> RGB conversion
return out
I also adopted imageio, but I found the following machinery useful for pre- and post-processing:
import imageio
import numpy as np
def imload(*a, **k):
i = imageio.imread(*a, **k)
i = i.transpose((1, 0, 2)) # x and y are mixed up for some reason...
i = np.flip(i, 1) # make coordinate system right-handed!!!!!!
return i/255
def imsave(i, url, *a, **k):
# Original order of arguments was counterintuitive. It should
# read verbally "Save the image to the URL" — not "Save to the
# URL the image."
i = np.flip(i, 1)
i = i.transpose((1, 0, 2))
i *= 255
i = i.round()
i = np.maximum(i, 0)
i = np.minimum(i, 255)
i = np.asarray(i, dtype=np.uint8)
imageio.imwrite(url, i, *a, **k)
The rationale is that I am using numpy for image processing, not just image displaying. For this purpose, uint8s are awkward, so I convert to floating point values ranging from 0 to 1.
When saving images, I noticed I had to cut the out-of-range values myself, or else I ended up with a really gray output. (The gray output was the result of imageio compressing the full range, which was outside of [0, 256), to values that were inside the range.)
There were a couple other oddities, too, which I mentioned in the comments.
We can use following function of open CV2 to convert BGR 2 RGB format.
RBG_Image = cv2.cvtColor(Image, cv.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
Using Keras:
from keras.preprocessing import image
img = image.load_img('path_to_image', target_size=(300, 300))
x = image.img_to_array(img)
x = np.expand_dims(x, axis=0)
images = np.vstack([x])
Try timing the options to load an image to numpy array, they are quite similar. Go for plt.imread for simplicity and speed.
def time_this(function, times=100):
cum_time = 0
for t in range(times):
st = time.time()
function()
cum_time += time.time() - st
return cum_time / times
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
def load_img_matplotlib(img_path):
return plt.imread(img_path)
import cv2
def load_img_cv2(img_path):
return cv2.cvtColor(cv2.imread(img_path), cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
from PIL import Image
import numpy as np
def load_img_pil(img_path):
img = Image.open(img_path)
img.load()
return np.asarray( img, dtype="int32" )
if __name__=='__main__':
img_path = 'your_image_path'
for load_fn in [load_img_pil, load_img_cv2, load_img_matplotlib]:
print('-'*20)
print(time_this(lambda: load_fn(img_path)), 10000)

You can try the following method. Here is a link to the docs.
tf.keras.preprocessing.image.img_to_array(img, data_format=None, dtype=None)
from PIL import Image
img_data = np.random.random(size=(100, 100, 3))
img = tf.keras.preprocessing.image.array_to_img(img_data)
array = tf.keras.preprocessing.image.img_to_array(img)
