Why is the final result of both different?

Reading the image as HSV OR converting a color image into HSV

then,

Extracting the pixels using HSV values should give SAME RESULT

Here's the code for reading image as HSV then selecting HSV value

cim = cv2.imread('OI5.jpg',cv2.COLOR_RGB2HSV)
huemask1 = ((cim >np.array([100,0,0])).astype(np.float32)+(cim>np.array([100,0,0])).astype(np.float32)*(-0.5)+0.5)
mask1_intrd = (huemask1.astype(np.uint8))*255

Here's the OUTPUT

Shouldn't the 2nd parameter of cv2.imread() be cv2.BGR2HSV?...

Even if there is no such flag, we are still getting some value? This type of reading a color image directly as HSV would be much useful for certain conditions. Will bring in more more robustness into OpenCV, I feel. Could these be implemented in the next release?

To answer to your question IMHO I think the answer is no. But feel free to write an issue may be opencv people will say yes.

I will try to debug code to understand why you get a result (and there is no exeption)

Hi Santhosh, you can still get some value, but the program will view you BGR channels as RGB. As a result, it mix the B and R, and then get a mistaken result.

@moHe If you look into imread posted by @LBerger you can see the color image is always red as BGR

@santhosh when you use COLOR_RGB2HSV as imread flags it means IMREAD_REDUCED_COLOR_4+IMREAD_LOAD_GDAL. If you haven't got GDAL it does not matter no exception is thrown but image size is reduced (scale factor is 4). May be an exception should be thrown when gdal lib is not installed
