Periphery (Camera)

Capture Pointcloud

Retrieves a point cloud from the camera's captured image.

Resulting data format depends on stage units (e.g., mm, cm, m).
downscale_factor determines compression level: 1.0 = full data, <1.0 = compressed.
Points and normals that came out non-finite are returned as zero vectors, since JSON cannot represent them.
