scipy.ndimage.imread(fname, flatten=False, mode=None)[source]¶

Load an image from file.

Parameters :

Parameters :	fname : str Image file name, e.g. `test.jpg`. flatten : bool, optional If true, convert the output to grey-scale. Default is False. mode : str, optional mode to convert image to, e.g. `RGB`.
Returns :	img_array : ndarray The different colour bands/channels are stored in the third dimension, such that a grey-image is MxN, an RGB-image MxNx3 and an RGBA-image MxNx4.
Raises :	ImportError If the Python Imaging Library (PIL) can not be imported.
