HEVC pixels of a block

Question

so I'm playing around with the code of HEVC, and was wondering how to find the pixels of a block. To be more specific, say I have a 32x32 CU, how can I find the actual pixels in that 32x32 block?

The code I'm using to extract the CU is (taken form TEncSearch.cpp of 3d-HEVC):

TComPic*      pcPicTex = pcCU->getSlice()->getTexturePic();
TComDataCU* pcColTexCU = pcPicTex->getCU( pcCU->getAddr() );

from that I've added the following, which results in a 32x32 block:

printf("CU %ux%u \n", pcColTexCU->getWidth(0), pcColTexCU->getHeight(0) );

Does anyone know how I can find the actual pixels of that 32x32 block?

Thanks

Since deblocking filter module conducts filtering on the reconstructed pixels, you can refer the source code (TComLoopFilter.cpp) to see how to access the reconstructed pixels.

TComPicYuv* pcPicYuvRec = pcCU->getPic()->getPicYuvRec();
Pel* piSrc    = pcPicYuvRec->getLumaAddr( pcCU->getAddr(), uiAbsZorderIdx );

pcCU->getAddr() means that index of CTU

uiAbsZorderIdx means that zindex (might be 4x4 block index usually) in a CTU
