# Loading a Pixel Container File

## Loading images and depth maps

* Use the method [`EBaseROI::Load`](../../../doxygen_cpp/classeVision_1_1EBaseROI.html#a993f2416a63b523d6b1a89b1b4f9310d) [<sub>.NET</sub>](../../../doxygen_cs/classeVision_1_1EBaseROI.html#ab468012a82769c1902eaefde4a1a74b1) [<sub>Python</sub>](../../../doxygen_python/classeVision_1_1EBaseROI.html#a6203404de61357bdbae378e32144fe91) to load image data into an image object.
  * It has only the argument `path` that includes the path, filename and file name extension.
  * The file type is determined by the file format.
  * The destination image is automatically resized according to the size of the image on disk.
* [`EBaseROI::Load`](../../../doxygen_cpp/classeVision_1_1EBaseROI.html#a993f2416a63b523d6b1a89b1b4f9310d) [<sub>.NET</sub>](../../../doxygen_cs/classeVision_1_1EBaseROI.html#ab468012a82769c1902eaefde4a1a74b1) [<sub>Python</sub>](../../../doxygen_python/classeVision_1_1EBaseROI.html#a6203404de61357bdbae378e32144fe91) throws an exception when:
  * The file type identification fails.
  * The file type is incompatible with the pixel type of the image object.

#### NOTE
When loading a BW16 image (with integer values) in a depth map, the fixed point precision set in the depth map (0 by default) is left unchanged and used.

#### NOTE
Some image file types may contain EXIF metadata indicating the orientation or cropping of the image. These metadata are not taken into consideration when opening an image.

## Loading point clouds

Use the following methods to load a point cloud saved in a specific format:
