Take picture of scene without Sceneform objects drawn on it

[sarimmehdi]

Hello. I want to take a picture without the sceneform objects drawn on it as I need the original image for further computer vision processing and the AR objects hide key features that are needed by my computer vision algorithm. Currently, I am doing the following:

       // bitMapVoid function consumes the bitmap for computer vision related processing
        Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(arSceneView.getWidth(), arSceneView.getHeight(),
                Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
        PixelCopy.request(arSceneView, bitmap,
                (copyResult) -> bitmapVoidFunction.accept(bitmap),
                pixelCopierHandler);

The above code not only captures the image but also captures the AR items drawn on it. How do I get the original image without any of the AR objects on it? My alternative was to disable all nodes while the bitmap was being created and re-enable it when the process completes but that doesn't feel like an elegant solution.

EDIT:
As a workaround, I am taking the Image object I get from the Frame (Image image = frame.acquireCameraImage()) and converting that to a bitmap since that is just the raw image seen by ARCore. However, this is a 640 by 480 image and not 1920 by 1080 one which is the original image.

I would prefer not to increase the resolution of the image, seen by ARCore, to 1920 by 1080 as that can potentially slow down the app. Please, if anyone finds a way to get the original 1920 by 1080 image without any of the Sceneform stuff drawn on it, then do let me know.
