load_image is not same from url or from file

[mistake0316]

# in colab
from deepface.commons import functions
import numpy as np
url = "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/45/MontreGousset001.jpg/440px-MontreGousset001.jpg"
file = "440px-MontreGousset001.jpg"
!wget {url} -O {file} -q

img_from_url = functions.load_image(url)
img_from_file = functions.load_image(file)

print(np.abs(img_from_url-img_from_file).mean())

	elif url_img:
	img = np.array(Image.open(requests.get(img, stream=True).raw).convert('RGB'))
	elif exact_image != True: #image path passed as input
	if os.path.isfile(img) != True:
	raise ValueError("Confirm that ",img," exists")
	img = cv2.imread(img)

The reason is because you convert the image to RBG with url
And for file, you use cv2.imread, the default setting is rgb

Please align those two methods

@mistake0316,

The following solve this issue: https://stackoverflow.com/a/39270509/10949679

elif url_img is True:
        img = np.array(Image.open(requests.get(img, stream=True, timeout=60).raw).convert("RGB"))[:,:,::-1]

If needed I can create a PR.

Best,
Vincent
