Depth Crop Control

This example shows usage of depth camera in crop mode with the possibility to move the crop. You can manipulate the movement of the cropped frame by using the following keys:

  1. w will move the crop up

  2. a will move the crop left

  3. s will move the crop down

  4. d will move the crop right
