Can I load a multi-frame TIFF through OpenCV?

Question

Anyone know if OpenCV is capable of loading a multi-frame TIFF stack? I\'m using OpenCV 2.2.0 with python 2.6.

Answer 1

You can load multi-frame tiff files in OpenCV using file read function called imreadmulti. Here is the example

 ret, images = cv2.imreadmulti('.tiff', [], cv2.IMREAD_ANYCOLOR)

Images will be a list of frames in the tiff file. Suppose you want to see 2nd image, you can access as

img = images[1] # note 0 based indexing
