How to read images into a script without using using imageio or scikit image?

Solution 1:

With matplotlib you can use (as shown in the matplotlib documentation)

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.image as mpimg

img=mpimg.imread('image_name.png')

And plot the image if you want

imgplot = plt.imshow(img)

Solution 2:

You can also use Pillow like this:

from PIL import Image
image = Image.open("image_path.jpg")
image.show()
