How to Display an Image in Google Colab

In a guide by James Gallagher, the challenges of using OpenCV’s imshow() function in Google Colab are addressed by proposing the use of the supervision Python package, which offers an alternative method for image plotting. The guide demonstrates how to utilize the sv.plot_image() function for displaying images in Colab, compatible with both NumPy arrays and PIL image formats. Additionally, it discusses how to integrate supervision annotators for visualizing outputs from computer vision models, such as object detection, by providing code examples that annotate images with bounding boxes and labels. This approach simplifies the process of plotting images and visualizing model predictions in a Colab environment, and further information can be found in the supervision API documentation.
