# Example Practice

## Transform K4A Image into OpenCV Mat

```cpp
// Configuration

k4a_device_configuration_t config = K4A_DEVICE_CONFIG_INIT_DISABLE_ALL;
config.camera_fps = K4A_FRAMES_PER_SECOND_30;
config.color_format = K4A_IMAGE_FORMAT_COLOR_BGRA32; // <==== For Color image
config.color_resolution = K4A_COLOR_RESOLUTION_2160P;
config.depth_mode = K4A_DEPTH_MODE_NFOV_UNBINNED; // <==== For Depth image 

// Color data

k4a_image_t colorImage = k4a_capture_get_color_image(capture); // get image metadata
if (colorImage != NULL)
{
    // you can check the format with this function
    k4a_image_format_t format = k4a_image_get_format(colorImage); // K4A_IMAGE_FORMAT_COLOR_BGRA32 

    // get raw buffer
    uint8_t* buffer = k4a_image_get_buffer(colorImage);

    // convert the raw buffer to cv::Mat
    int rows = k4a_image_get_height_pixels(colorImage);
    int cols = k4a_image_get_width_pixels(colorImage);
    cv::Mat colorMat(rows , cols, CV_8UC4, (void*)buffer, cv::Mat::AUTO_STEP);

    // ...

    k4a_image_release(colorImage);
}

// Depth data

k4a_image_t depthImage = k4a_capture_get_depth_image(capture); // get image metadata
if (depthImage != NULL)
{
    // you can check the format with this function
    k4a_image_format_t format = k4a_image_get_format(depthImage); // K4A_IMAGE_FORMAT_DEPTH16 

    // get raw buffer
    uint8_t* buffer = k4a_image_get_buffer(depthImage);

    // convert the raw buffer to cv::Mat
    int rows = k4a_image_get_height_pixels(depthImage);
    int cols = k4a_image_get_width_pixels(depthImage);
    cv::Mat depthMat(rows, cols, CV_16U, (void*)buffer, cv::Mat::AUTO_STEP);

    // ...

    k4a_image_release(depthImage);
}
```

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://deemolover.gitbook.io/log-os/tools-graphical/azure-kinect-dk/image-manipulation/example-practice.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
