Image Decode Implementation with CV2

author: Kaiyuan Hu, Rentong Guo

Description

An image decode operator implementation with OpenCV.

Code Example

Load a image from path './dog.jpg'.

Write the pipeline in simplified style:

from towhee.dc2 import pipe, ops, DataCollection


p = (
  pipe.input('url')
  .map('url', 'image', ops.image_decode.cv2())
  .output('image')
)

DataCollection(p('./dog.jpg')).show()

Factory Constructor

Create the operator via the following factory method:

image_decode.cv2()

Interface

An image decode operator takes an image path as input. It decodes the image back to ndarray.

Parameters:

img: str

​ Local file path or http url.

Returns: towhee.types.Image (a sub-class of numpy.ndarray)

​ The decoded image data as numpy.ndarray.
