Is there any RGBD photo format yet? (Image+Depth)

3 pointsby mofosyneover 5 years ago
It would be nice if photos like the 3D images you see in facebook is portable and sharable.

RGB layer plus black and white depth map layer plus a little calibration metadata in a TIFF file is probably about as portable as it will get until someone very large tries to promote a standard.

I have just stored depth data in the alpha channel when I wanted to include the depth data.

The most common format currently probably is jpeg, with the depth data stored in the metadata.
