How to read .bmp images using tensorflow and write to disk?

I am trying to read bmp images (2048 x2048), resize them to 256x 256 and write the image to disk using tensorflow. I have succeeded in reading it but unable to find a way write it to disk. Any idea how to do it ?

Here is the code below:

import tensorflow as tf

img_path = "D:/image01.bmp"

img = tf.read_file(img_path)

img_decode = tf.image.decode_bmp(img, channels=1) # unit8 tensor

IMG_WIDTH = 256

IMG_HEIGHT = 256

img_cast = tf.cast(img_decode,dtype=tf.uint8)

img_4d = tf.expand_dims(img_cast, axis=0)

img_res = tf.image.resize_bilinear(img_4d, (IMG_HEIGHT, IMG_WIDTH), align_corners=True)

session = tf.InteractiveSession()

file_name = "D:/out.bmp"

file = tf.write_file(file_name, img_res)

print('Image Saved')

session.close()

Error:

        535               # Update the maps with the default, if needed.

    TypeError: Input 'contents' of 'WriteFile' Op has type uint8 that does not match expected type of string.

The problem is I can't find a "encode_bmp" or any bmp related function that can be used to encode the image and save the resized image to disk.

I went through this thread but this doesn't help solve the question. Link here

Since Tensorflow currently does not have a native way of saving/encoding images to the BMP format, one way to solve this would be to save the image as a PNG in a temporary location and then use the Python Imaging Library to convert it to a BMP.

See: PILs Image.Save method and the list of supported file formats.

From my understanding, the reason for the exception you are receiving is that you are trying to save a unit8 tensor, when the write_file method expects an - encoded - string.

Try this:

from PIL import Image
.
.
.
file_name = "D:/tmp.png"
enc = tf.image.encode_png(img_res)
file = tf.write_file(file_name, enc)
print('PNG Image Saved')
session.close()
Image.open(file_name).save("D:/out.bmp")
os.remove(file_name)
