Scipy.misc.imread flatten argument — converting to grey scale

问题

I'm trying to understand how this method transform an image in grey scale (if it uses a simple mean or a weighted mean) -- I have to reference this method.

From the documentation I know that this method calls the convert(‘F’) method.

From Pillow/PIL source code, I can find this method, however, I couldn't find what it does when the mode parameter is set to 'F'.

Thank you.

In the docstring of the convert method of the Image object (seen in the code that you linked to), there is this:

When translating a color image to black and white (mode "L"), the library uses the ITU-R 601-2 luma transform::

L = R * 299/1000 + G * 587/1000 + B * 114/1000

Apparently this is also how mode='F' is handled.

Here's an example:

In [2]: from PIL import Image

Create an array for the demonstration:

In [3]: x = np.random.randint(0, 9, size=(4, 4, 3)).astype(np.uint8)

Send the array through the conversion to an Image and back to an array, using mode='F' in the convert method:

In [4]: np.array(Image.fromarray(x).convert('F'))
Out[4]: 
array([[ 3.24499989,  6.30499983,  1.86899996,  4.54400015],
       [ 3.54399991,  5.04300022,  4.63000011,  0.29899999],
       [ 2.0539999 ,  3.29900002,  1.85800004,  1.76100004],
       [ 3.9289999 ,  4.76100016,  5.76100016,  2.47799993]], dtype=float32)

Multiply x by the factors shown in the docstring of convert:

In [5]: f = np.array([0.299, 0.587, 0.114])

In [6]: x.dot(f)
Out[6]: 
array([[ 3.245,  6.305,  1.869,  4.544],
       [ 3.544,  5.043,  4.63 ,  0.299],
       [ 2.054,  3.299,  1.858,  1.761],
       [ 3.929,  4.761,  5.761,  2.478]])

If we convert to np.float32, we see exactly the same values as created by the convert method:

In [7]: x.dot(f).astype(np.float32)
Out[7]: 
array([[ 3.24499989,  6.30499983,  1.86899996,  4.54400015],
       [ 3.54399991,  5.04300022,  4.63000011,  0.29899999],
       [ 2.0539999 ,  3.29900002,  1.85800004,  1.76100004],
       [ 3.9289999 ,  4.76100016,  5.76100016,  2.47799993]], dtype=float32)

回答2:

The mode parameter 'F' stands for 'floating point'.

from PIL import Image

im = Image.new("F", (2,2))
pixels = im.load()
pixels[0,0] = 255.0
pixels[1,0] = 200.0
pixels[0,1] = 100.0
pixels[1,1] = 20.0
im.show()
