When you capture with Zivid, you get a frame in return.
The point cloud is stored in the frame, and the frame is stored in the GPU memory.
The capture can contain color or not, depending of the method that you call.
For more information see this table with different capture modes.
Zivid::Camera::capture2D3D() and Zivid::Camera::capture3D() methods return at some moment in time after the camera completes capturing raw images.
The handle from Zivid::Frame::pointCloud() is available instantly.
However, the actual point cloud data becomes available only after the processing on the GPU is finished.
Any calls to data-copy functions (section below) will block and wait for processing to finish before proceeding with the requested copy operation.
Zivid.NET.Camera.Capture2D3D() and Zivid.NET.Camera.Capture3D() methods return at some moment in time after the camera completes capturing raw images.
The handle from Zivid.NET.Frame.PointCloud is available instantly.
However, the actual point cloud data becomes available only after the processing on the GPU is finished.
Any calls to data-copy methods (section below) will block and wait for processing to finish before proceeding with the requested copy operation.
zivid.camera.capture_2d_3d() and zivid.camera.capture_3d() methods return at some moment in time after the camera completes capturing raw images.
The handle from zivid.frame.point_cloud() is available instantly.
However, the actual point cloud data becomes available only after the processing on the GPU is finished.
Any calls to data-copy functions (section below) will block and wait for processing to finish before proceeding with the requested copy operation.
