Retriving depth buffer data from camera depth texture

Questions & Answers

Hi guys,
I am trying to retrieve and save on a Texture 2D pixel color data from depth texture mode. Here’s my code which is a merge of different contribution on the web:

using UnityEditor;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Rendering;

[ExecuteInEditMode]
public class CameraScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    #region ' Fields '

    public Material mat;
    private Texture2D mTexture;
    public Renderer screenGrabRenderer;

    #endregion

    #region ' Methods '
    void Start()
    {
        
        mCamera = GameObject.FindObjectOfType<Camera>();
        GetComponent<Camera>().depthTextureMode = DepthTextureMode.Depth;
        mTexture = new Texture2D(Screen.width, Screen.height, TextureFormat.RGB24, false);
    }

        
    void OnRenderImage(RenderTexture source, RenderTexture destination)
    {
        Graphics.Blit(source, destination, mat);

        RenderTexture.active = destination;     
        mTexture = new Texture2D(source.width, source.height);
        mTexture.ReadPixels(new Rect(0, 0, destination.width, destination.height), 0, 0);
        mTexture.Apply();
        RenderTexture.active = previous;
        RenderTexture.ReleaseTemporary(destination);
    }

    #endregion
}

Actually, I would like to have a Color array with value on a gray scale: destionation variable in the OnRenderImage should have this information and I should simply transform it in a Texture2D, but on reading pixel Unity reports a null reference exception. Am I on the right way? What am I missing?
