Kinect Depth Image Incorrect Greyscale Direction

Steps causing the bug to occur

Kinect v1 outputs a depth image, great.
From the node documentation: ‘This is a grayscale image in which closer objects are colored darker and farther objects are colored lighter.’
I believe a standard depth image should be the reverse of this, closer objects should be lighter and vice versa.

Have you found a workaround?

Yes, invert the colours.

Other notes

  • Vuo version: 1.2.8
  • macOS version: macOS 10.12
  • How severely does this bug affect you? It’s annoying but I can work around it.

All the other Kinect apps around output lighter grey as the closer regions.

OK, we can flip the colors.

Changed depth images so closer objects are lighter and farther objects are darker. Implemented in Vuo 2.0 beta.
