FrameConverter

interface FrameConverter extends HybridObject

The FrameConverter can convert Frames and Depth to Images, and back.

Methods

convertDepthToImage(...)

convertDepthToImage(depth: Depth): Image

Converts the Depth frame to an Image.

The resulting Image will be a grey-scale RGB image, where black pixels are far away, and white pixels are close by.

convertDepthToImageAsync(...)

convertDepthToImageAsync(depth: Depth): Promise<Image>

convertFrameToImage(...)

convertFrameToImage(frame: Frame): Image

Converts the given Frame to an Image. This performs a CPU copy.

convertFrameToImageAsync(...)

convertFrameToImageAsync(frame: Frame): Promise<Image>

Asynchronously converts this Frame to an Image. This performs a CPU copy.

convertImageToFrame(...)

convertImageToFrame(
   image: Image, 
   orientation: CameraOrientation, 
   isMirrored: boolean): Frame

Converts the given Image to a Frame, as if the Camera had streamed it in the given orientation and isMirrored mode.

This is the inverse of convertFrameToImage(...); the Image's pixel data is physically rotated and mirrored so that interpreting the resulting Frame with its orientation and isMirrored flags yields the original upright Image again.

This performs a CPU copy, and a RGB -> YUV conversion. The resulting Frame is in a 4:2:0 YUV PixelFormat (like Frames streamed from the Camera), which is a lossy conversion - expect pixel values to be off by a small amount.

Example

const image = await loadImage({ filePath: '...' })
const frame = HybridFrameConverter.convertImageToFrame(image, 'up', false)
console.log(`${frame.width}x${frame.height} ${frame.pixelFormat} Frame`)
// process the Frame, e.g. scan it for barcodes or resize it...
frame.dispose()

convertImageToFrameAsync(...)

convertImageToFrameAsync(
   image: Image, 
   orientation: CameraOrientation, 
isMirrored: boolean): Promise<Frame>

Asynchronously converts the given Image to a Frame, as if the Camera had streamed it in the given orientation and isMirrored mode.

This performs a CPU copy, and a RGB -> YUV conversion.
