PointCloudCopyImageBGRA_SRGB Method

Return Value

Type: ImageBGRA_SRGB
Point colors as 8-bit BGRA_SRGB 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 (B,G,R,A), with 8 bits per channel. The sRGB color space is suitable for showing an image on a display for human viewing. It is easier to see details in darker areas of an image in sRGB than in linear RGB, as more of the dynamic range is dedicated to darker colors. This color space is assumed by default by most monitors and should be used when displaying an image. The returned ImageBGRA_SRGB holds the same pixel data as the byte array returned by CopyColorsBGRA_SRGB. However, the ImageBGRA_SRGB provides additional functionality such as saving the image to a file.
