Reading images

imread() is the unified entry point. It dispatches on the file extension to a format-specific reader and returns an Image (or a list of images when given a folder or a sequence of paths). Physical dimensions, acquisition time and correction objects can be supplied as keyword arguments and are applied while reading.

imread(path, **kwargs)

Determine and call reading routine depending on filetype.
