`skimage.util.dtype:img_as_int`

source: /dev/scikit-image/src/skimage/util/dtype.py :532

Signature

def img_as_int ( image , force_copy = False )

Summary

Convert an image to 16-bit signed integer format.

Parameters

image : ndarray: Input image.
force_copy : bool, optional: Force a copy of the data, irrespective of its current dtype.

Returns

out : ndarray of int16: Output image.

Notes

The values are scaled between -32768 and 32767. If the input data-type is positive-only (e.g., uint8), then the output image will still only have positive values.
