Would it be possible to add an option in the ZED SDK to embed simple FCAT-style markers (colored bars or patterns) into the image stream?
This would make it much easier to detect tearing, partial frames, or buffer-swap artifacts, especially when frames are being encoded through NVENC (H.264/H.265) or processed on high-load systems.
Users who don’t mind having a few hardcoded pixels along the edge of the image would benefit from a reliable and low-overhead method to identify when a captured frame contains corrupted data — something that is otherwise extremely difficult to detect programmatically.
Such an option would greatly simplify pipeline debugging and quality assurance for high-frequency or high-resolution ZED capture workflows.
