[python] image processing speed comparison cv2 vs imageio


There are two way on image processing in python.

I wondered the speed using 'cv2' and 'imageio' on reading images.

I tested with 1000*667 size picture to compare their speed.



'cv2' was faster than 'imageio' in all time and the records were 32%, 39%, 29%, 44%, 49%, 40%, 42%, 45%, 34%, 40%.

The average is 39.4%.


Conclusion : Use cv2!!!
