I have an image (grayscale image .bmp) . that I am trying to read.So, I used the imread() function using matlab and python and I get the same results.
the image
/* with Matlab */
109 107 104 101 96 91 87 84 76 75 75 77 78 80 80 80
81 78 77 75 74 72 68 68 69 71 72 73 75 76 77 78
73 73 72 70 69 68 67 67 67 68 69 71 72 74 75 76
...
/* with python in an rgb form */
[[[109 109 109]
[107 107 107]
[104 104 104]
....
you can see that it is the same interpretation.
But when I use the following command of od
$ od -t u1 cat.bmp
0000000 255 216 255 224 0 16 74 70 73 70 0 1 1 0 0 1
which is obviously soo different ... how can i fix this problem?
A BMP file has a header which tells you the width, height, palette, transparency and so on. The bytes representing the pixels of the image do not occur at the beginning of the file.
