===RGB Image===
===Depth Image===
Depths images encode as z-depth to camera as 8-bit images. 
To get the meters from the 8-bit RGB image, apply the following formula:
<pre>
normalized = (R + G * 256 + B * 256 * 256) / (256 * 256 * 256 - 1)
in_meters = 1000 * normalized
</pre>
I recommend resaving the depth images as 16-bit PNG images. 
This makes the depth values less sensitive to rounding errors, even though 8-bit PNG images are lossless.
To convert depth values to euclidean distance, you need to divide by \(\cos(\theta)\) where \(\theta\) is the angle to the center of the image.
