To convert RGB information of depth obtained from D415 to corresponding depth information

[SG_R]

I have obtained depth image in .png format using real sense camera . I would like to read the actual depth values associated with each pixel using matlab. What i get to see is only the RGB (colour map corresponding to depth) values when displayed in matlab. Please instruct on how to convert the RGB values to depth information.

There is a product for MATLAB called the Image Processing Toolbox. It is not inexpensive, though it does have a 30 day free trial.

I would like to clarify . The depth image obtained from real sense is in RGB format. How to convert that to actual depth information ? that is my query. My working platform is MATLAB.

If you were just using the RealSense SDK to do the conversion then the procedure would be relatively straightforward.

The need to do it with MATLAB is a complicating factor though. RealSense SDK functions can be interfaced with through the SDK's MATLAB wrapper if you are using Windows, though the number of example programs available for the wrapper is currently limited and so I do not have an example of how to get the depth values from the pixels of a PNG via the wrapper.

Thank you...I shall try it out using real sense SDK On Thu 20 Dec, 2018, 15:41 Intel Forums <supportreplies@intel.com wrote:
