Load Svg Image In Opencv

I'm trying to download an svg image and open it in opencv for further processing. What I am doing is to convert from svg to png format with cairosvg, open it using Pillow and final

Solution 1:

As suggested, you have to preserve alpha channel.

import numpy as np
import requests
from io import BytesIO
from PIL import Image
from cairosvg import svg2png
import cv2

svg_url = 'https://logincdn.msauth.net/16.000.28611.4/content/images/microsoft_logo_ee5c8d9fb6248c938fd0dc19370e90bd.svg'

svg_data = requests.get(svg_url).content

png = svg2png(bytestring=svg_data)

pil_img = Image.open(BytesIO(png)).convert('RGBA')
pil_img.save('output/pil.png')

cv_img = cv2.cvtColor(np.array(pil_img), cv2.COLOR_RGBA2BGRA)
cv2.imwrite('cv.png', cv_img)
