python数据类型int转int16_图像类型int16到uint8的转换

I have an image with data type int16.

So when I have to convert its range to 0-255, I got two ways to do that in Python.

1) Use numpy.uint8 function directly

2) Use OpenCV cv2.normalize function with 0-255 range and then use numpy.uint8.

In Matlab, we directly get the conversion using uint8 function.

In

Also in second case, I used NORM_MINMAX and the range of intensity values gets changed to 0-4.

What is the correct way to do the conversion?

All of these do different things.

np.uint8 considers only the lowest byte of your number. It's like doing value & 0xff.

>>> img = np.array([2000, -150, 11], dtype=np.int16)

>>> np.uint8(img)

array([208, 106, 11], dtype=uint8)

cv2.normalize with the cv2.NORM_MINMAX norm type normalises your values accord
