[osg-users] "Robust" Update of an osg::Image attached to a osg::camera ?

basically :

mesh (readnodefile) -> PAT (internal)  -> PAT (external)
------------------>  Rootnode -> viewer
                                                                     |_____>

Actually, I just need a depth map, so the image is the only output for the
"osg part"

my eyes (considering the next answer)

 no thread I think... this basic osg structure is "embedded" and called once
at each iteration :

something like :
mp_ExternalPAT->setPosition
mp_ExternalPAT->setAttitude
mp_Image->dirty();
m_Viewer.updateTraversal();
m_Viewer.frame();

---->access to the current Depth Map (osg::Image attached to the camera)

Although i handle a little Comp.Vision, I 'm really newborn in Comp Graph
area.
Are you telling me that if i'd define a chain camera -> texture -> image, my
depth map would be would be computed by the CPU?

If not, what I have to do ?
