Hi everybody,

I would like to access the raw data from the iPhone True Depth Camera (IR sensor), in order to do my own image processing.

I'm not talking about depth info but the infrared image that the iPhone uses to get those depth information.

You can see what I'm talking about below:

However, I know that the API allow to get processed depth info but we couldn't find any reference to the raw IR data used to obtain it.

Do you know if is it possible to access that information?

Thanks in advance.

AFAIK, this raw image is not accessible.

See the answer to this question one year ago. And It has not changed since.

Tell me, please, did you find out how you can use the IR sensor separately from the whole FaceID?
