Mahotas – Resizing Image

In this article we will see how we can resize the image in mahotas. Image interpolation occurs when you resize or distort your image from one pixel grid to another. Image resizing is necessary when you need to increase or decrease the total number of pixels, whereas remapping can occur when you are correcting for lens distortion or rotating an image.
In this tutorial we will use “lena” image, below is the command to load it.
 

mahotas.demos.load('lena')

Below is the lena image 
 

 

In order to do this we will use mahotas.imresize method
Syntax : mahotas.imresize(img, size)
Argument : It takes image object and new size as argument
Return : It returns image object 
 

Note : Input image should be filtered or should be loaded as grey
In order to filter the image we will take the image object which is numpy.ndarray and filter it with the help of indexing, below is the command to do this
 

image = image[:, :, 0]

Below is the implementation 
 

Python3




# importing required libraries
import mahotas
import mahotas.demos
from pylab import gray, imshow, show
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
   
# loading image
img = mahotas.demos.load('lena')
 
 
   
# filtering image
img = img.max(2)
 
print("Image")
   
# showing image
imshow(img)
show()
 
# resizing image
new_img = mahotas.imresize(img, [200, 250])
  
 
# showing image
print("Resized Image")
imshow(new_img)
show()


Output : 
 

Image

 

 

Resized Image

 

Another example 
 

Python3




# importing required libraries
import mahotas
import numpy as np
from pylab import gray, imshow, show
import os
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
  
# loading image
img = mahotas.imread('dog_image.png')
 
 
# filtering image
img = img[:, :, 0]
   
print("Image")
   
# showing image
imshow(img)
show()
 
# resizing image
new_img = mahotas.imresize(img, [200, 200])
  
 
# showing image
print("Resized Image")
imshow(new_img)
show()


Output : 
 

Image
