Proposal

I would like to save exclusively the left image, right image, and depth measure. Later down the line, I would like to turn things into a colored point cloud. Currently, I only see how to make a point cloud live. Is there a way to make it with this data?

Thank you!

Use-Case

I am collecting a very large dataset across multiple labs and we already are having troubles with data storage.

I would like to get RGB images, compress them with mp4 (also do something similar for depth) and deal with point cloud stuff at a later time after data collection.

Anything else?

Hi @AlexanderKhazatsky,
You can achieve what you want by using the SVO format, which will save all the camera data in a single file and allows later playback (and processing) with the SDK. Take a look at the following documentation page and examples:
