What's the issue you encountered?

As mentioned in the title turning on pixels_as_floats for an image request is very slow through the API, for the project I am working on I need depth images with a resolution of 1920x1080, before this I used the recording feature which was quick enough but I needed more control and moved to the python API. For the segmentation and scene images it is still fast enough but when I request a depth image, where I need to enable pixels as float to get acurate results, it is very slow, slow as I have never seen it complete a request with 1920x1080. It is fine for 255x144 and 1280x720 while also very slow also generated something at least but I would really like 1920x1080 images.

I think the problem lies with the connection between UE and python and it just not being fast enough to send this amount of data?

Settings

Mostly default just camera settings set to 1920x1080

1080p images are large and you need a good graphics card to get good performance. Recommend using ROS but images will still be slow
