PointCloudCopyImageRGBA Method

Return Value

Type: ImageRGBA
Point colors as 8-bit RGBA image

This method copies the colors from compute device memory to host (CPU) system memory (RAM) and returns them as an Image. The format of the image will be four channels (R,G,B,A), with 8 bits per channel. The returned ImageRGBA holds the same pixel data as the byte array returned by CopyColorsRGBA. However, the ImageRGBA provides additional functionality such as saving the image to a file. This format holds linear color values, which are suitable as input to computer vision algorithms. For showing colors on a display for viewing, consider using the ColorSRGB format.
