OpenCV - Reading a 16 bit grayscale image

opencv, python

Solution

Figured it out. In case anyone else runs into this problem:

im = cv2.imread(path,-1)

Setting the flag to 0, to load as grayscale, seems to default to 8 bit. Setting the flag to -1 loads the image as is.

Problem

I'm trying to read a 16 bit grayscale image using OpenCV 2.4 in Python, but it seems to be loading it as 8 bit. I'm doing: ``` im = cv2.imread(path,0) print im [[25 25 28 ..., 0 0 0] [ 0 0 0 ..., 0 0 0] [ 0 0 0 ..., 0 0 0] ..., ``` How do I get it as 16 bit?
