InfraredFrame Class
Represents a frame that provides a view of the scene that looks just like a black and white photograph, but is actively lit, so brightness is consistent regardless of location and room brightness.
Syntax
public ref class InfraredFrame sealed : IClosable
public sealed class InfraredFrame : IDisposable
var infraredFrame = WindowsPreview.Kinect.InfraredFrame;

Methods
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Close | Releases system resources associated with the infrared frame. |
| CopyFrameDataToArray | Copies the infrared frame data into the array provided. |
| CopyFrameDataToBuffer | Copies the infrared frame data into the memory location provided. |
| LockImageBuffer | Gives an app access to the underlying buffer used by the system to store this frame's data. |
Remarks
The infrared frame is great for computer vision algorithms where texture is important, such as facial recognition. Data is stored as 16-bit unsigned integers. The infrared frame is also great for green screening, tracking reflective markers, and filtering out low-return (and therefore jittery) depth pixels. Note that the infrared frame is derived from the same sensor as depth, so the images are perfectly aligned. For example, the infrared pixel at row 5 col 9 goes with the depth pixel at row 5 col 9.
