AttributeError while running Scipy.ndimages.imread

Question

when running:

import scipy
scipy.ndimage.imread('path/to/image',mode='RGB')

I got

AttributeError: module 'scipy.ndimage' has no attribute 'imread'

I already tried to uninstall and reinstall scipy and also to reinstall Pillow and numpy as said there

Is there some missing module?

imread is deprecated and removed since 1.2. Which version of scipy are you using? — Trickytree22, Aug 01 '19 at 12:35

I came across this issue today as well. This happens because scipy.ndimage.imread is deprecated, see doc here.

To do the same, you can to use the imageio package

conda install -c conda-forge imageio

After this, you can do

import imageio
imageio.imread('path/to/image',mode='RGB')

A library that provides imread which most people already have is matplotlib. Just use it like this:

import matplotlib
matplotlib.pyplot.imread('path')

Using pytorch below method worked for me.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt plt.imread('Image_path')
