Importing image to python :cannot import name 'imread'

I'm new to python and I want to import an image.

import numpy as np
from scipy.misc import imread, imsave, imresize
# Read an JPEG image into a numpy array
img = imread('Cover.jpg')
print(img.dtype, img.shape)

but I face with following error: cannot import name 'imread' I've already successfully installed numpy and scipy.

You also need to install PIL (Pillow) as that is what scipy uses to read images:

pip install Pillow

note from the docs:

imread uses the Python Imaging Library (PIL) to read an image. The following notes are from the PIL documentation.

however, you might want to think about switching to scipy.imageio.imread since scipy.misc.imread is deprecated :

imread is deprecated! imread is deprecated in SciPy 1.0.0, and will be removed in 1.2.0. Use imageio.imread instead

Use:

from imageio import imread

it worked for me.

First, you should have Pillow, later your scipy version should be lower than 1.1.0

pip install Pillow
pip install scipy==1.1.0
