MFDepthMeasurement enumeration (mfapi.h)

Specifies the measurement system for a depth value in a video frame.

Syntax

typedef enum _MFDepthMeasurement {
  DistanceToFocalPlane = 0,
  DistanceToOpticalCenter = 1
} MFDepthMeasurement;

Constants

 
DistanceToFocalPlane
Value: 0
The measurement is the distance to the focal plane.
DistanceToOpticalCenter
Value: 1
The measurement is the distance to the optical center.

Remarks

Use a value from this enumeration with the MF_MT_DEPTH_MEASUREMENT attribute.

The distance to focal plane is typically easier to consume in a 3D Euclidian coordinate system.

Illustration of DistanceToFocalPlane

The distance to focal center format is typically raw data from sensor such as time of flight cameras.
