image#

This module provides conversions between numpy.ndarray and QImage

convertArrayToQImage(array)[source]#

Convert an array-like image to a QImage.

The created QImage is using a copy of the array data.

Limitation: Only RGB or RGBA images with 8 bits per channel are supported.

Parameters:

array (numpy.ndarray of uint8) – Array-like image data of shape (height, width, channels) Channels are expected to be either RGB or RGBA.

Return type:

Download Windows installer

Returns:

Corresponding Qt image with RGB888 or ARGB32 format.

convertQImageToArray(image)[source]#

Convert a QImage to a numpy array.

If QImage format is not one of:

  • Format_Grayscale8

  • Format_RGB888

  • Format_RGBA8888

  • Format_ARGB32,

it is first converted to one of this format.

The created numpy array is using a copy of the QImage data.

Parameters:
Return type:

Download Windows installer

Returns:

Image array of uint8 of shape:

  • (height, width) for grayscale images

  • (height, width, channels (3 or 4)) for RGB and RGBA images
