How to know shape of image collection object

Question

I am reading all images of a folder from following code

from skimage.io import imread_collection
img_dir = 'cats/*.jpg'
col = imread_collection(img_dir)

for getting shape or size of col i used following:

col.shape

but get AttributeError: 'ImageCollection' object has no attribute 'shape'

how to solve this problem

Answer 1

ImageCollection is a list of images, so you have to access individual images with their index.

From the docs:

>>> coll = io.ImageCollection(data_dir + '/chess*.png')
>>> len(coll)
2
>>> coll[0].shape
(200, 200)
