Read images from URLs

Closed this issue · 1 comments

After using skimage for a while, I grew appreciative of their image reading function, which can handle web-urls for images. I think this simple functionality would be a great feature addition to eta.core.image.

#450 reminded me that I added eta.core.image.download() for that purpose a couple years ago. Obviously supporting that directly in eta.core.image.read() will make it easier to discover. Thanks @benjaminpkane!
