One image (kinect depth map) as opacityMask for other image

Question

Hi, I have two image controls.

 

I want to use  Img1 as a OpacityMask of Img2. 

 

<Image Name="Img1" Width="500" Height="500"  />

<Image Name="Img2" Width="500" Height="500" Source="c:\temp\background.jpg"  />

Img1 -  image to apply mask to

Img2 - image to apply mask from

 

The source of Img1 is being read from kinect depth image: (I'm using OpenCV)

 

var depthBmp = depthFrame.SliceDepthImage((int)sliderMin.Value, (int)sliderMax.Value);
Image<Bgr, Byte> openCVImg = new Image<Bgr, byte>(depthBmp.ToBitmap());  outImg.Source = ImageHelpers.ToBitmapSource(openCVImg);

Img1.Source = ImageHelpers.ToBitmapSource(openCVImg);

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

When I create ImageBrush, set its Imagesource to Img1.Source and apply OpacityMask from Brush, nothing happens, Img2 is shown without mask:

 

brush = new ImageBrush();

brush.ImageSource = Img1.Source;
Img2.OpacityMask = brush;

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For example, the mask is applied when I use BitmapImage as ImageSource of ImageBrush:

 

BitmapImage Img3 = new BitmapImage(new Uri(@"c:\temp\turtle.png", UriKind.Absolute));

brush = new ImageBrush();

brush.ImageSource = Img3.Source;
Img2.OpacityMask = brush;

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tnx.
