I'm using Intel RealSense Depth module D430. And I have a raw file of a frame that I got from IntelRealsense Viewer and I would like to import that file into MATLAB and get the depth values at one point (if it is possbile). How can I get this information from raw file?

I already tried to use the same method as get_depth_frame but unfortunately I couldn't get any results.

https://linuxtv.org/downloads/v4l-dvb-apis/uapi/v4l/pixfmt-z16.html gives the file byte order of RAW files, and indicates that the bytes are in little-endian order, which is the same used on all current MATLAB implementations. You can fopen() and fread() using 'uint16' as the datatype
However it might be easier to loadlibrary() of the libsense or libsense2 library and use higher-level calls to retrieve information.
