base64

The usual format to send an image is base64.

from lightmlrestapi.testing.data import get_wiki_img
imgpath = get_wiki_img()

from IPython.display import Image
Image(imgpath, width=200)
../_images/image_helpers_4_0.png 
from PIL import Image
img = Image.open(imgpath)
img.size

(456, 415)

from lightmlrestapi.args import image2base64
ext, b64 = image2base64(img)
len(b64), type(b64)

(114676, bytes)

from lightmlrestapi.args import base642image
img2 = base642image(b64)

img2.resize((150,150))
../_images/image_helpers_8_0.png

array

from lightmlrestapi.args import image2array
arr = image2array(img)
arr.shape
