Greetings, we are using your patches to classify of the images are ALN status 0/1. This work is happening as part of internship with Bits Pilani students in India. Kindly can you help us on the fastest ways to convert images to arrays as to use in the model. Also can you give your thoughts on how much time it will take to convert patch images to arrays.

Our procedure goes with 41000 patch images for training and rest distributed to validation and test. using 80 -20 split.
Kindly request to help us on converting images to arrays as for us it is taking lot and lot hours.
