Usage

With pylibjpeg and pydicom

from pydicom import dcmread
from pydicom.data import get_testdata_file

ds = dcmread(get_testdata_file('JPEG-LL.dcm'))
arr = ds.pixel_array

Standalone JPEG decoding

You can also decode JPEG images to a numpy ndarray:

from libjpeg import decode

with open('filename.jpg', 'rb') as f:
    # Returns a numpy array
    arr = decode(f.read())

# Or simply...
arr = decode('filename.jpg')
