skimage doesn't implement image readers, but instead, uses other i/o libraries as plugins (so there's no good way to list image format
support).
Out of curiosity, does matplotlib's imread do the same, using other plugins?
I think Matplotlib uses libpng for PNGs and then PIL for everything else. I tried loading a jp2 image with the matplotlib plugin and it raises a PIL error.
For me, `skimage.io.imread` doesn't read jp2 by default (my default plugin
is 'PIL'), but I can set the plugin to 'freeimage' to read jp2 images; e.g.
from skimage import io io.imread('some_image.jp2', plugin='freeimage')
which uses freeimage just for that one call or
io.use_plugin('freeimage') io.imread('some_image.jp2')
which changes your default io plugin to freeimage. You'd need to have the freeimage library installed on your system to use this plugin:
Thanks! That did it.
Great! We should probably update info in the docs about what plugins we support. Freeimage is already listed in our install page, but there are actually a few others that aren't: http://scikit-image.org/docs/dev/install.html
