Acquire non-depth limited RGB image stream while handtracking

CScha4

I am currently successfully using the Hand Tracker module in c# in order to get RGB view of the hand only. This works!

Now I need to be able to toggle between this, and a normal (but aligned) RGB image. However, when I retrieve the rgb image via sample.color, I seem to retrieve a "depth-limited" rgb image (i.e. a segmentation image) instead of the plain rgb camera stream.

I guess this is due to the enabled handconfiguration with segmentation. Is there a way to retrieve the plain RGB frames, i.e. before the depth-mapping happens? Thank you in advance.

I am not the expert around here when it comes to programming color and depth streams (I'm sure he'll contribute advice when he sees this), but for now, I will offer a couple of links in the hope that they can get you started.

* Intel staffer Rick Blacker wrote an article on simple RGB streaming, with an attached code sample.

* There is also a script that combines together RGB and depth streams into one. Whilst I know this is not your goal, you may be able to get some useful insights about precisely lining up two separate streams.
