import cv2


cv2.imread("filename",flags)

对于cv2，imread的关于通道数和位深的flags有四种选择：

IMREAD_UNCHANGED = -1#不进行转化，比如保存为了16位的图片，读取出来仍然为16位。
IMREAD_GRAYSCALE = 0#进行转化为灰度图，比如保存为了16位的图片，读取出来为8位，类型为CV_8UC1。
IMREAD_COLOR = 1#进行转化为RGB三通道图像，图像深度转为8位
IMREAD_ANYDEPTH = 2#保持图像深度不变，进行转化为灰度图。
IMREAD_ANYCOLOR = 4#若图像通道数小于等于3，则保持原通道数不变；若通道数大于3则只取取前三个通道。图像深度转为8位
对于多通道TIFF图像，若要保证图像数据的正常读取，显然要选择IMREAD_UNCHANGED作为imread的flags设置值。

Creates an image memory from an object exporting the array interface (using the buffer protocol).

If obj is not contiguous, then the tobytes method is called and frombuffer() is used.

Parameters: 
obj – Object with array interface
mode – Mode to use (will be determined from type if None) See: Modes.
Returns: 
An image object.

New in version 1.1.6.
