To deal with that "ImportError: cannot import name 'imread'":

>
This bug is mainly because the versions of the "scipy" library and the "pillow" library do not match.
I got this bug, which is caused by too high version of "scipy" library. My version matches the following:

Point installation scipy == 1.2.1
Point mounting pillow == 6.1.0

>
step 1 input "pip list" to check out scipy version
step 2 turn scipy x.x.x into scipy 1.2.1
BOOM
Finshed.
