Hello,

Are jpeg 2000 images supported in skimage? I tried looking for it in the docs but didn't find anything.

Thanks

Hey JD,

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?

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:

http://freeimage.sourceforge.net/

Thanks! That did it.

There may be other skimage plugins that support jp2, but I'm not sure.

Best, -Tony
