Move to OpenCV for file I/O
Correct-Syntax opened this issue · comments
Currently, we do not have pre-built python wheels for OpenImageIO. OpenImageIO is only used for image I/O so it is not necessarily a hard dependency. OpenCV doesn't provide all of the same support for the formats OIIO does, but that is the tradeoff. :/
This issue should implement cv2 (which is already a dependency) as a fallback for image Input and output when OIIO is not installed. It should also alert the user that the image import and export may be limited because of using cv2 rather than OIIO.
This is actually mostly done in the master branch. I have to cleanup a few areas though.
