Luminance From Depth

Updated: 22 Mar 2024

Generates a greyscale luminance image from a depth source, usually a Depth Camera / Kinect Source

Method #

Generates a greyscale luminance image from a depth source, usually a Depth Camera / Kinect Source or a Colour And Depth Source node.

Attributes

These properties control the core behaviours of the node.

Parameter	Details
Preview In Viewport	Preview the generated image as an overlay in the viewport. Off : No preview is generated. RGBA : Preview the image blended with alpha in the viewport. RGB : Preview the colour channels in the viewport. Alpha : Preview the alpha channel in the viewport. PIP : Preview the image blended with alpha in the viewport, in a smaller picture in picture display, on top of the existing content.
Apply PostFX Before Alpha Image Input (Legacy)	When enabled, the alpha input image is applied after the postfx pass, overwriting any effects the postfx would have applied to the alpha channel.
Near Plane	The near clip plane. Depth values less than this are masked out.
Far Plane	The far clip plane. Depth values greater than this are masked out.
Fall Off	Control the falloff of the output image.
Output Mask	Toggle whether to only output the greyscale mask.
Invert	Invert the value output for the depth image.

Name	Description	Typical Input
Depth Source	Source for the image depth.	Colour And Depth Source
Effect Mask	Mask out areas that Post-FX applied to this node won’t be applied.	Loader
Alpha Image	Use a separate video nodes luminance values to overwrite the alpha channel of the image.	Loader
Active	Enables or disables the effect. Disabling the effect means it will no longer compute, so disabling a node when not in use can improve performance.	Envelope Modifier
