InfraredFrame Class

Represents a frame that provides a 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.

No code example is currently available or this language may not be supported.

InfraredFrame has the following members.

NameDescription
FrameDescription Gets the description of the infrared frame.
InfraredFrameSource Gets the source of the infrared frame.
RelativeTime Gets the timestamp of the infrared frame.

NameDescription
CloseReleases system resources associated with the infrared frame.
CopyFrameDataToArrayCopies the infrared frame data into the array provided.
CopyFrameDataToBufferCopies the infrared frame data into the memory location provided.
LockImageBufferGives an app access to the underlying buffer used by the system to store this frame's data.

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.
