Pixel Format

Color Frame

ColorFrame.RawColorImageFormat

Will return the format of the color frame data.
By using this code snippet, I found out that the raw image format of the data from the Kinect v2 I am using is actually Yuy2.

Yuy2 uses 4 bytes per 2 pixel, for a buffer size of 4,147,200 bytes
Bgra32 uses 4 bytes per pixel, for a buffer size of 8,294,400 bytes.
8 bits = 1 byte
PixelFormats.Bgra32
Gets the Bgra32 pixel format. Bgra32 is a sRGB format with 32 bits per pixel (BPP). Each channel (blue, green, red, and alpha) is allocated 8 bits per pixel (BPP).
PixelFormats.Bgra32.BitsPerPixel = 32

To get color data, you can use of these following methods under ColorFrame class.

CopyConvertedFrameDataToArray
- Converts the raw format into the requested format and copies the data into the array provided.
CopyConvertedFrameDataToBuffer
- Converts the raw format into the requested format and copies the data into the memory location provided.
CopyRawFrameDataToArray
- Copies the raw frame data into the array provided.
CopyRawFrameDataToBuffer
- Copies raw frame data into the memory location provided.

The data for this frame is stored as 16-bit unsigned integers, where each value represents the distance in millimeters.

Gives an app access to the underlying buffer used by the system to store this frame's data.

            if ((openStreams | FrameSourceTypes.Depth) != 0)

                using (DepthFrame dFrame = frame.DepthFrameReference.AcquireFrame())

                    if (dFrame != null)

                        FrameDescription fd = dFrame.FrameDescription;

                        FrameDescription fsfd = dFrame.DepthFrameSource.FrameDescription;

                        var size2 = fsfd.Width * fsfd.Height * fsfd.BytesPerPixel;

                        var size = fd.Width * fd.Height * fd.BytesPerPixel;

                        Console.WriteLine(size);//434,176

                        Console.WriteLine(size2);
