Description
The operation loads an image from a file in one of the standard image file formats. Currently the filter supports the following formats:
- BMP (*.bmp),
- JPEG (*.jpg, *jpeg),
- PNG (*.png),
- TIFF (*.tif, *.tiff).
The format of the image file is recognized automatically based on the file header.
The resulting outImage will be three-channel image of UInt8 pixel type, or sometimes of UInt16 pixel type for 16-bit depth images of supported formats (PNG, TIFF).
Hints
- Set inFile to specify a path to the image file you want to load.
- This filter can also be added easily by dragging and dropping an image file from Windows Explorer to the Program Editor in FabImage Studio.
