python有哪些库可以读写内存_如何从内存缓冲区（StringIO）或使用opencv python库的url读取映像...

Just share a way to create opencv image object from in memory buffer or from url to improve performance.

Sometimes we get image binary from url, to avoid additional file IO, we want to imread this image from in memory buffer or from url, but imread only supports read image from file system with path.

解决方案

To create an OpenCV image object with in memory buffer(StringIO), we can use OpenCV API imdecode, see code below:

import cv2

import numpy as np

from urllib2 import urlopen

from cStringIO import StringIO

def create_opencv_image_from_stringio(img_stream, cv2_img_flag=0):

img_stream.seek(0)

img_array = np.asarray(bytearray(img_stream.read()), dtype=np.uint8)

return cv2.imdecode(img_array, cv2_img_flag)

def create_opencv_image_from_url(url, cv2_img_flag=0):

request = urlopen(url)

img_array = np.asarray(bytearray(request.read()), dtype=np.uint8)

return cv2.imdecode(img_array, cv2_img_flag)
