IInfraredFrame Interface

Represents a frame that provides view of the scene that looks just like a black and white photograph, but is actively lit, so brightness is consistent regardless of location and room brightness.

interface IInfraredFrame : public IUnknown

IInfraredFrame has the following members.

NameDescription
AccessUnderlyingBufferGets a pointer to the infrared frame data.
CopyFrameDataToArrayCopies the infrared frame data to an unsigned short array.
get_FrameDescriptionGets the description of the infrared frame.
get_InfraredFrameSourceGets the source of the infrared frame.
get_RelativeTimeGets the source of the infrared frame.

The infrared frame is great for computer vision algorithms where texture is important, such as facial recognition. Data is stored as 16-bit unsigned integers. The infrared frame is also great for green screening, tracking reflective markers, and filtering out low-return (and therefore jittery) depth pixels. Note that the infrared frame is derived from the same sensor as depth, so the images are perfectly aligned. For example, the infrared pixel at row 5 col 9 goes with the depth pixel at row 5 col 9.
