Imread function explanation

#1

gray = cv2.imread(‘logo.png’,cv2.IMREAD_GRAYSCALE)
What does this code do ?

#2

This code reads an image file named logo.png and converts it into a grayscale image using the cv2.imread() function from the OpenCV library. Here’s a breakdown of the code:

  • cv2.imread(): This function is used to read an image from a file.
  • logo.png : The name of the image file you want to read. In this case, the image is named logo.png .
  • cv2.IMREAD_GRAYSCALE : This flag tells OpenCV to read the image in grayscale mode. It means the image will be loaded as a single-channel (intensity) image, where pixel values represent brightness levels (ranging from 0 to 255), instead of the usual 3-channel RGB format.
