read_image

torchvision.io.read_image(path: str, mode: ImageReadMode = ImageReadMode.UNCHANGED, apply_exif_orientation: bool = False) → Tensor

Reads a JPEG, PNG or GIF image into a 3 dimensional RGB or grayscale Tensor. Optionally converts the image to the desired format. The values of the output tensor are uint8 in [0, 255].

Parameters:

• path (str or pathlib.Path) – path of the JPEG, PNG or GIF image.

• mode (ImageReadMode) – the read mode used for optionally converting the image. Default: ImageReadMode.UNCHANGED. See ImageReadMode class for more information on various available modes. Ignored for GIFs.

• apply_exif_orientation (bool) – apply EXIF orientation transformation to the output tensor. Ignored for GIFs. Default: False.

Returns:

output (Tensor[image_channels, image_height, image_width])
