Convert rgb images to grayscale images

I have a numpy array of rgb images as shown below



print(train_frames.shape) #(100, 40, 120, 140, 3)


which means 100 rows each of 40 frames contains an image of 120x140.



I need to convert that into gray scale images i.e,



print(train_frames.shape) #(100, 40, 120, 140, 1)


How to convert that ?

          If you want to do that in batch, one way is to use numpy.mean



          numpy.mean(train_frames, axis=-1)


          axis=-1 means the 3 rgb channels.



          If you want to get a better conversion, I guess you will need to convert image by image with opencv cv2.cvtColor(image, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)

          • When I am using that cv2.cvtColor thing, I am getting array shape of only (100, 40, 120, 160) instead of (100, 40, 120, 160, 1)

          • To use cvtColor you must iterate on the (100, 40) matrix with 120x160x3 images. Each image should be converted to a 120x160x1. Got it?
