<TITLE>Problem with converting GeoTIFF to Numpy array (ValueError: unrecognised mode)</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<!-- Converted from text/plain format -->
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi<BR>
<BR>
I am trying to read a GeoTIFF and convert it to a Numpy array. Though, I am able to open the image with no problem, however I am keep getting 'ValueError: unrecognised mode' anytime I try to use any methods from PIL's classes. My lines and results are like this:<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
>>import Numpy<BR>
>>from PIL import Image<BR>
>>im = Image.open('dem.TIF')<BR>
>>print im.format, im.size, im.mode<BR>
>> TIFF (6000, 6000) I;16S<BR>
>>dem = fromstring(im.tostring(),'int16')<BR>
....<BR>
....<BR>
ValueError: unrecognised mode<BR>
<BR>
The problem must be because of mode of my data (I;16S) and I don't know how to read it.<BR>
I really appreciate any help with this.<BR>
<BR>
Many Thanks<BR>
Cheers,<BR>
<BR>
