Hello I am New to python and I wanted to know how i can load images from a directory on the computer into python variable. I have a set of images in a folder on disk and I want to display these images in a loop.
You can use PIL (Python Imaging Library) http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/ to load images. Then you can make an script to read images from a directory and load them to python, something like this.
#!/usr/bin/python
from os import listdir
from PIL import Image as PImage
def loadImages(path):
# return array of images
imagesList = listdir(path)
loadedImages = []
for image in imagesList:
img = PImage.open(path + image)
loadedImages.append(img)
return loadedImages
path = "/path/to/your/images/"
# your images in an array
imgs = loadImages(path)
for img in imgs:
# you can show every image
img.show()
