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 library   However  I am would rather restrict my usage of external libraries to  scipy  numpy and matplotlib libraries  Thus  using imageio or scikit image is not a good option for me    Are there any methods in python or scipy  numpy or matplotlib to read images  which are not being deprecated

From documentation      Matplotlib can only read PNGs natively  Further image formats are supported via the optional dependency on Pillow     So in case of PNG we may use plt imread    In other cases it s probably better to use Pillow directly

You can also use Pillow like this   from PIL import Image image   Image open  image path jpg   image show

I read all answers but I think one of the best method is using openCV library    import cv2  img   cv2 imread  your image png  0    and for displaying the image  use the following code    from matplotlib import pyplot as plt plt imshow img  cmap    gray   interpolation    bicubic   plt xticks      plt yticks        to hide tick values on X and Y axis plt show

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
