Loading Network Images in OpenCV-Python

Previously, we introduced that OpenCV can read local images using cv2.imread(), but this method cannot directly load images from a network URL. Reading Network Images: cv2.imdecode To read images from a network in OpenCV, you need to use cv2.imdecode(). This method can directly process byte streams (such as images transmitted over the network o ...
