Struct AVCaptureDepthDataOutput 

pub struct AVCaptureDepthDataOutput { /* private fields */ }

Available on crate features AVCaptureDepthDataOutput and AVCaptureOutputBase only.

AVCaptureDepthDataOutput is a concrete subclass of AVCaptureOutput that can be used to process depth data in a streaming fashion.

Instances of AVCaptureDepthDataOutput capture AVDepthData objects expressing disparity/depth. Applications can access the frames with the depthDataOutput:didOutputDepthData:fromConnection: delegate method.

AVCaptureDepthDataOutput always provides depth data in the format expressed by its source’s -[AVCaptureDevice activeDepthDataFormat] property. If you wish to receive depth data in another format, you may choose from the -[AVCaptureDevice activeFormat]’s -[AVCaptureDeviceFormat supportedDepthDataFormats], and set it using -[AVCaptureDevice setActiveDepthDataFormat:].

Implementations

impl AVCaptureDepthDataOutput

pub unsafe fn init(this: Allocated<Self>) -> Retained<Self>

pub unsafe fn new() -> Retained<Self>

pub unsafe fn setDelegate_callbackQueue( &self, delegate: Option<&ProtocolObject<dyn AVCaptureDepthDataOutputDelegate>>, callback_queue: Option<&DispatchQueue>, )

Available on crate feature dispatch2 only.

Sets the receiver’s delegate that receives captured depth data and the dispatch queue on which the delegate is called.

Parameter delegate: An object conforming to the AVCaptureDepthDataOutputDelegate protocol that receives depth data in a streaming fashion.

Parameter callbackQueue: A dispatch queue on which all delegate methods are called.

The depth data output vends captured depth data to its delegate using the methods specified in the AVCaptureDepthOutputDelegate protocol. All delegate methods are called on the specified dispatch queue. If the callback queue is blocked when new depth data is captured, that depth data is automatically dropped at a time determined by the value of the alwaysDiscardsLateDepthData property. This allows clients to process existing depth data on the same queue without having to manage the potential memory usage increases that would otherwise occur when that processing is unable to keep up with the rate of incoming depth data.

Clients who need to minimize the chances of depth data being dropped should provide a dedicated queue and not share it with other data outputs. Processing of depth data may be deferred to another queue, but beware that the depth data pixel buffer maps may come from a finite buffer pool, which may be starved if your deferred processing fails to keep up.

A serial dispatch queue must be used to guarantee that depth data will be delivered in order. The callbackQueue parameter may not be NULL, except when setting the delegate to nil otherwise -setDelegate:callbackQueue: throws an NSInvalidArgumentException.

Safety

callback_queue possibly has additional threading requirements.

pub unsafe fn delegate( &self, ) -> Option<Retained<ProtocolObject<dyn AVCaptureDepthDataOutputDelegate>>>

The receiver’s delegate.

The value of this property is an object conforming to the AVCaptureDepthDataOutputDelegate protocol that receives depth data as it is captured. The delegate is set using the setDelegate:callbackQueue: method.

pub unsafe fn delegateCallbackQueue(&self) -> Option<Retained<DispatchQueue>>

Available on crate feature dispatch2 only.

The dispatch queue on which all delegate methods are called.

The value of this property is a dispatch_queue_t. The queue is set using the setDelegate:queue: method.

pub unsafe fn alwaysDiscardsLateDepthData(&self) -> bool

Specifies whether the receiver should always discard any depth data that is not processed before the next depth data is captured.

When the value of this property is YES, the receiver will immediately discard depth data that are captured while the delegateCallbackQueue is blocked. When the value of this property is NO, delegates will be allowed more time to process old depth data before new depth data are discarded, but application memory usage may increase as a result. The default value is YES.

pub unsafe fn setAlwaysDiscardsLateDepthData( &self, always_discards_late_depth_data: bool, )

Setter for alwaysDiscardsLateDepthData.

pub unsafe fn isFilteringEnabled(&self) -> bool

Specifies whether the depth data output should filter depth data to smooth out noise and fill invalid values.

When the value of this property is YES, the receiver temporally filters the stream of AVDepthData objects to reduce noise, as well as fill invalid values. Invalid values (NaN) may be present in AVDepthData pixel buffer maps due to factors such as low light or lens occlusion. When filtering is enabled, the depth data output interpolates missing depth data values. Filtering should be disabled if you desire the raw depth data values. The default value is YES.

pub unsafe fn setFilteringEnabled(&self, filtering_enabled: bool)

Setter for isFilteringEnabled.

Methods from Deref<Target = AVCaptureOutput>

pub unsafe fn connections(&self) -> Retained<NSArray<AVCaptureConnection>>

Available on crate feature AVCaptureSession only.

The connections that describe the flow of media data to the receiver from AVCaptureInputs.

The value of this property is an NSArray of AVCaptureConnection objects, each describing the mapping between the receiver and the AVCaptureInputPorts of one or more AVCaptureInputs.

pub unsafe fn connectionWithMediaType( &self, media_type: &AVMediaType, ) -> Option<Retained<AVCaptureConnection>>

Available on crate features AVCaptureSession and AVMediaFormat only.

Returns the first connection in the connections array with an inputPort of the specified mediaType.

Parameter mediaType: An AVMediaType constant from AVMediaFormat.h, e.g. AVMediaTypeVideo.

This convenience method returns the first AVCaptureConnection in the receiver’s connections array that has an AVCaptureInputPort of the specified mediaType. If no connection with the specified mediaType is found, nil is returned.

pub unsafe fn transformedMetadataObjectForMetadataObject_connection( &self, metadata_object: &AVMetadataObject, connection: &AVCaptureConnection, ) -> Option<Retained<AVMetadataObject>>

Available on crate features AVCaptureSession and AVMetadataObject only.

Converts an AVMetadataObject’s visual properties to the receiver’s coordinates.

Parameter metadataObject: An AVMetadataObject originating from the same AVCaptureInput as the receiver.

Parameter connection: The receiver’s connection whose AVCaptureInput matches that of the metadata object to be converted.

Returns: An AVMetadataObject whose properties are in output coordinates.

AVMetadataObject bounds may be expressed as a rect where {0,0} represents the top left of the picture area, and {1,1} represents the bottom right on an unrotated picture. Face metadata objects likewise express yaw and roll angles with respect to an unrotated picture. -transformedMetadataObjectForMetadataObject:connection: converts the visual properties in the coordinate space of the supplied AVMetadataObject to the coordinate space of the receiver. The conversion takes orientation, mirroring, and scaling into consideration. If the provided metadata object originates from an input source other than the preview layer’s, nil will be returned.

If an AVCaptureVideoDataOutput instance’s connection’s videoOrientation or videoMirrored properties are set to non-default values, the output applies the desired mirroring and orientation by physically rotating and or flipping sample buffers as they pass through it. AVCaptureStillImageOutput, on the other hand, does not physically rotate its buffers. It attaches an appropriate kCGImagePropertyOrientation number to captured still image buffers (see ImageIO/CGImageProperties.h) indicating how the image should be displayed on playback. Likewise, AVCaptureMovieFileOutput does not physically apply orientation/mirroring to its sample buffers – it uses a QuickTime track matrix to indicate how the buffers should be rotated and/or flipped on playback.

transformedMetadataObjectForMetadataObject:connection: alters the visual properties of the provided metadata object to match the physical rotation / mirroring of the sample buffers provided by the receiver through the indicated connection. I.e., for video data output, adjusted metadata object coordinates are rotated/mirrored. For still image and movie file output, they are not.

pub unsafe fn metadataOutputRectOfInterestForRect( &self, rect_in_output_coordinates: CGRect, ) -> CGRect

Available on crate feature objc2-core-foundation only.

Converts a rectangle in the receiver’s coordinate space to a rectangle of interest in the coordinate space of an AVCaptureMetadataOutput whose capture device is providing input to the receiver.

Parameter rectInOutputCoordinates: A CGRect in the receiver’s coordinates.

Returns: A CGRect in the coordinate space of the metadata output whose capture device is providing input to the receiver.

AVCaptureMetadataOutput rectOfInterest is expressed as a CGRect where {0,0} represents the top left of the picture area, and {1,1} represents the bottom right on an unrotated picture. This convenience method converts a rectangle in the coordinate space of the receiver to a rectangle of interest in the coordinate space of an AVCaptureMetadataOutput whose AVCaptureDevice is providing input to the receiver. The conversion takes orientation, mirroring, and scaling into consideration. See -transformedMetadataObjectForMetadataObject:connection: for a full discussion of how orientation and mirroring are applied to sample buffers passing through the output.

pub unsafe fn rectForMetadataOutputRectOfInterest( &self, rect_in_metadata_output_coordinates: CGRect, ) -> CGRect

Available on crate feature objc2-core-foundation only.

Converts a rectangle of interest in the coordinate space of an AVCaptureMetadataOutput whose capture device is providing input to the receiver to a rectangle in the receiver’s coordinates.

Parameter rectInMetadataOutputCoordinates: A CGRect in the coordinate space of the metadata output whose capture device is providing input to the receiver.

Returns: A CGRect in the receiver’s coordinates.

AVCaptureMetadataOutput rectOfInterest is expressed as a CGRect where {0,0} represents the top left of the picture area, and {1,1} represents the bottom right on an unrotated picture. This convenience method converts a rectangle in the coordinate space of an AVCaptureMetadataOutput whose AVCaptureDevice is providing input to the coordinate space of the receiver. The conversion takes orientation, mirroring, and scaling into consideration. See -transformedMetadataObjectForMetadataObject:connection: for a full discussion of how orientation and mirroring are applied to sample buffers passing through the output.

pub unsafe fn isDeferredStartSupported(&self) -> bool

A BOOL value that indicates whether the output supports deferred start.

You can only set the deferredStartEnabled property value to true if the output supports deferred start.

pub unsafe fn isDeferredStartEnabled(&self) -> bool

A BOOL value that indicates whether to defer starting this capture output.

When this value is true, the session does not prepare the output’s resources until some time after AVCaptureSession/startRunning returns. You can start the visual parts of your user interface (e.g. preview) prior to other parts (e.g. photo/movie capture, metadata output, etc..) to improve startup performance. Set this value to false for outputs that your app needs for startup, and true for the ones it does not need to start immediately. For example, an AVCaptureVideoDataOutput that you intend to use for displaying preview should set this value to false, so that the frames are available as soon as possible.

By default, for apps that are linked on or after iOS 26, this property value is true for AVCapturePhotoOutput and AVCaptureFileOutput subclasses if supported, and false otherwise. When set to true for AVCapturePhotoOutput, if you want to support multiple capture requests before running deferred start, set AVCapturePhotoOutput/responsiveCaptureEnabled to true on that output.

If deferredStartSupported is false, setting this property value to true results in the system throwing an NSInvalidArgumentException.

• Note: Set this value before calling AVCaptureSession/commitConfiguration as it requires a lengthy reconfiguration of the capture render pipeline.

pub unsafe fn setDeferredStartEnabled(&self, deferred_start_enabled: bool)

Setter for isDeferredStartEnabled.

Methods from Deref<Target = NSObject>

pub fn doesNotRecognizeSelector(&self, sel: Sel) -> !

Handle messages the object doesn’t recognize.

See Apple’s documentation for details.

Methods from Deref<Target = AnyObject>

pub fn class(&self) -> &'static AnyClass

Dynamically find the class of this object.

Panics

May panic if the object is invalid (which may be the case for objects returned from unavailable init/new methods).

Example

Check that an instance of NSObject has the precise class NSObject.

use objc2::ClassType;
use objc2::runtime::NSObject;

let obj = NSObject::new();
assert_eq!(obj.class(), NSObject::class());

pub unsafe fn get_ivar<T>(&self, name: &str) -> &T

where T: Encode,

👎Deprecated: this is difficult to use correctly, use Ivar::load instead.

Use Ivar::load instead.

Safety

The object must have an instance variable with the given name, and it must be of type T.

See Ivar::load_ptr for details surrounding this.

pub fn downcast_ref<T>(&self) -> Option<&T>

where T: DowncastTarget,

Attempt to downcast the object to a class of type T.

This is the reference-variant. Use Retained::downcast if you want to convert a retained object to another type.

Mutable classes

Some classes have immutable and mutable variants, such as NSString and NSMutableString.

When some Objective-C API signature says it gives you an immutable class, it generally expects you to not mutate that, even though it may technically be mutable “under the hood”.

So using this method to convert a NSString to a NSMutableString, while not unsound, is generally frowned upon unless you created the string yourself, or the API explicitly documents the string to be mutable.

See Apple’s documentation on mutability and on isKindOfClass: for more details.

Generic classes

Objective-C generics are called “lightweight generics”, and that’s because they aren’t exposed in the runtime. This makes it impossible to safely downcast to generic collections, so this is disallowed by this method.

You can, however, safely downcast to generic collections where all the type-parameters are AnyObject.

Panics

This works internally by calling isKindOfClass:. That means that the object must have the instance method of that name, and an exception will be thrown (if CoreFoundation is linked) or the process will abort if that is not the case. In the vast majority of cases, you don’t need to worry about this, since both root objects NSObject and NSProxy implement this method.

Examples

Cast an NSString back and forth from NSObject.

use objc2::rc::Retained;
use objc2_foundation::{NSObject, NSString};

let obj: Retained<NSObject> = NSString::new().into_super();
let string = obj.downcast_ref::<NSString>().unwrap();
// Or with `downcast`, if we do not need the object afterwards
let string = obj.downcast::<NSString>().unwrap();

Try (and fail) to cast an NSObject to an NSString.

use objc2_foundation::{NSObject, NSString};

let obj = NSObject::new();
assert!(obj.downcast_ref::<NSString>().is_none());

Try to cast to an array of strings.

use objc2_foundation::{NSArray, NSObject, NSString};

let arr = NSArray::from_retained_slice(&[NSObject::new()]);
// This is invalid and doesn't type check.
let arr = arr.downcast_ref::<NSArray<NSString>>();

This fails to compile, since it would require enumerating over the array to ensure that each element is of the desired type, which is a performance pitfall.

Downcast when processing each element instead.

use objc2_foundation::{NSArray, NSObject, NSString};

let arr = NSArray::from_retained_slice(&[NSObject::new()]);

for elem in arr {
    if let Some(data) = elem.downcast_ref::<NSString>() {
        // handle `data`
    }
}
