PointCloudCopyImageSRGB Method

Return Value

Type: ImageSRGB
Point colors as 8-bit 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 (R,G,B,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 ImageSRGB holds the same pixel data as the byte array returned by CopyColorsSRGB. However, the ImageSRGB provides additional functionality such as saving the image to a file. This method has been deprecated as of SDK 2.15. The method will be removed in the next SDK major version (SDK 3.0). Prefer to use the new and equivalent method CopyImageRGBA_SRGB.
