Hi @teolemon we can use the imread function in scipy for flattening the images as follows-

from scipy.misc import imread
img = imread("imgname.jpg")
img.flatten()

@yashpungaliya I think we need to flatten image as in change the angle by which the image is taken, as you see in Google earth images. The above flatten function only converts the image from 2-D (grayscale) to 1-D array.
