scipy.misc module has no attribute imread?
You need to install Pillow (formerly PIL). From the docs on scipy.misc
:
Note that Pillow is not a dependency of SciPy but the image manipulation functions indicated in the list below are not available without it:
...
imread
...
After installing Pillow, I was able to access imread
as follows:
In [1]: import scipy.misc
In [2]: scipy.misc.imread
Out[2]: <function scipy.misc.pilutil.imread>
imread
is deprecated in SciPy 1.0.0, and will be removed in 1.2.0.
Use imageio.imread
instead.
import imageio
im = imageio.imread('astronaut.png')
im.shape # im is a numpy array
(512, 512, 3)
imageio.imwrite('imageio:astronaut-gray.jpg', im[:, :, 0])
