AttributeError: 'numpy.ndarray' object has no attribute 'load'

[hobbyist]

I have the following error:

Error:
    
       currrent_pixel = my_image.load()
AttributeError: 'numpy.ndarray' object has no attribute 'load'

in the following code:

        
        import cv2
        import numpy as np
        my_image = cv2.imread(path_of_my_image, cv2.IMREAD_UNCHANGED) 
        currrent_pixel = my_image.load()

What is wrong???

Why are you calling my_image.load()? What is that supposed to do?

[hobbyist]

How else can I read pixel of the image?

[deanhystad]

my_image is a 2D numpy array. How to you get values from a 2D numpy array?

https://numpy.org/devdocs/user/basics.indexing.html

But I am still curious about load(). What made you think that is how you get pixels?

This is an essay full of useful information. No doubt I love these and fnf mods

I tried this:

Error:
from PIL import Image 
my_image= Image.open(path_of_my_image)

and I get this error:

  File "/home/someone/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/PIL/Image.py", line 3008, in open
    raise UnidentifiedImageError(
PIL.UnidentifiedImageError: cannot identify image file 'test_images/test_UAV.tif')

What is wrong??

@deanhystad: Do you suggest to transform the image to numpy? I can't even load it now...

Verify that PIL supports tiff files.

Output:

If you don't see TIFF, you do not have a codex for working with TIFF files.

If you see TIFF in the list of supported file types, try opening your file with something that should be able to open TIFF files. What OS are you using?

If you were able to read the file using cv2 and that no longer works, it sounds like you corrupted the file.

I ran the command you mentioned. I get this:

I am using Kubuntu OS. The strange thing is that I can open that specific .tif image with QGIS but not via python code...

Oh, it is a geotiff file.

A geotiff file is a tiff file with additional georeferencing information tags. I found an article about it here:
