def saveAsPNG(array, filename):
    import struct
    if any([len(row) != len(array[0]) for row in array]):
        raise ValueError, "Array should have elements of equal size"

                                #First row becomes top row of image.
    flat = []; map(flat.extend, reversed(array))
                                 #Big-endian, unsigned 32-byte integer.
    buf = b''.join([struct.pack('>I', ((0xffFFff & i32)<<8)|(i32>>24) )
                    for i32 in flat])   #Rotate from ARGB to RGBA.

    data = write_png(buf, len(array[0]), len(array))
    f = open(filename, 'wb')
    f.write(data)
    f.close()

所以你可以这样做:

saveAsPNG([[0xffFF0000, 0xffFFFF00],
           [0xff00aa77, 0xff333333]], 'test_grid.png')

生产test_grid.png:

(透明性也可以通过减少0xff的高字节来工作。)

matplotlib:

import matplotlib.image

matplotlib.image.imsave('name.png', array)

适用于matplotlib 1.3.1，我不知道低版本。从文档字符串:

Arguments:
  *fname*:
    A string containing a path to a filename, or a Python file-like object.
    If *format* is *None* and *fname* is a string, the output
    format is deduced from the extension of the filename.
  *arr*:
    An MxN (luminance), MxNx3 (RGB) or MxNx4 (RGBA) array.

python有opencv(文档在这里)。

import cv2
import numpy as np

img = ... # Your image as a numpy array 

cv2.imwrite("filename.png", img)

如果需要进行除保存以外的更多处理，则非常有用。

Imageio是一个Python库，它提供了一个简单的接口来读取和写入广泛的图像数据，包括动画图像、视频、体积数据和科学格式。它是跨平台的，运行在Python 2.7和3.4+上，易于安装。

这是一个灰度图像的例子:

import numpy as np
import imageio

# data is numpy array with grayscale value for each pixel.
data = np.array([70,80,82,72,58,58,60,63,54,58,60,48,89,115,121,119])

# 16 pixels can be converted into square of 4x4 or 2x8 or 8x2
data = data.reshape((4, 4)).astype('uint8')

# save image
imageio.imwrite('pic.jpg', data)

假设你想要一张灰度图像:

im = Image.new('L', (width, height))
im.putdata(an_array.flatten().tolist())
im.save("image.tiff")

如果你有matplotlib，你可以这样做:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.imshow(matrix) #Needs to be in row,col order
plt.savefig(filename)

这将保存情节(而不是图像本身)。
