本文通过实验比较了使用JPEG和PNG格式保存图像后的像素一致性。实验发现JPEG作为有损压缩格式，在保存和读取过程中会导致图像信息丢失，而PNG则能保持原始图像的数据不变。建议在图像处理任务中使用PNG作为中间存储格式。

Question: read an image ev and then save it as ev_cp. Finally, read the saved image ev_cp. Intuitively, ev_cp should have the same value as ev pixel by pixel, but the blew code does not think so. It indicates that the saved ev_cp image has some values(pixels) different from ev.

    ev = cv2.imread(image_path)
    im_p = results_p+'1.jpg'
    if not os.path.exists(results_p):
       os.makedirs(results_p)
    cv2.imwrite(im_p, ev)
   
    #Convert 2 images to numpy arrays and compare pixel by pixel
    ev_cp = cv2.imread(im_p)
    flag = (ev == ev_cp).all()
    print(flag)

output: False

Reason:

Be careful when using JPEG as intermediate storage for image processing tasks since it is a lossy format and values may differ when you subsequently read them back.

Consider maybe using lossless PNG format for intermediate storage. Or use NetPBM PGM (greyscale) or PPM (colour) format for a particularly simple format to read and write - though be aware it cannot persist metadata, such as copyrights or EXIF data.

Change jpg tp png could fix this issue.
