Hello everyone,
I created this new version of the imread function and I think it can be very useful in several cases.
It is actually passed to it object on which you want to upload the image.
The advantages can be different like in case one needs to open several large images all the same in sequence.
one can use the same pointer and the system would not allocate memory each time.
python: accept path-like objects wherever file names are expected #24773
Merry Christmas, all 🎄
Implements #15731
Support is enabled for all arguments named `filename` or `filepath` (case-insensitive), or annotated with `CV_WRAP_FILE_PATH`.
Support is based on `PyOS_FSPath`, which is available in Python 3.6+. When running on older Python versions the arguments must have a `str` value as before.
