Acquisition Time is the duration from the start of the capture to when the camera has acquired the last image. After this time, the camera has finished its acquisition and you can move the robot, or capture with another camera with overlapping field of view. Acquisition Time is equal to the time it takes for the Camera::capture(settings) API function call to return.

Capture Time is the duration from the start of the capture to when all of the data transfer and processing has completed. After this time the 3D point cloud and/or 2D color image is ready and available on the GPU memory, and can be copied to the system memory (RAM).

Reprocessing re-runs the entire processing pipeline (including filters, color balance etc.) on a previously acquired frame. Reprocessing is available in Zivid Studio for captures with Diagnostics Mode enabled. The ReprocessingTime field is only set if this frame was reprocessed after it was initially captured, otherwise it will be unset. Reprocessing Time is the duration from the start of the reprocessing action and until all processing of the new frame has finished. After this time the 3D point cloud and/or 2D color image is ready and available on the GPU memory and can be copied to the system memory (RAM). Reprocessing Time depends on the processing settings that are enabled, which capture engine that was used, the pixel sampling setting and the number of acquisitions used. Reprocessing Time also depends on the compute power of the compute device. Note that for a frame that has been re-processed, the Acquisition Time and Capture Time refers to the originally captured frame. Only Reprocessing Time is updated in a reprocessed frame.
