Code Laboratories 2011-02-18T05:22:28Z Copyright (c) 2011 ExpressionEngine tag:codelaboratories.com,2011:08:20 Code: Kinect with OpenCV 2.2 in C++ tag:codelaboratories.com,2011:forums/viewthread/.518 2011-02-04T05:45:00Z 2011-02-18T05:22:28Z thesmileman A lot of people on this forum and around these here interwebs have been asking how to get the kinect working with OpenCV in C++. Here is the basic code to display the RGB image and the depth image as both a colormap and as greyscale. This is for OpenCV 2.2 which is the latest version. If you want to use an earlier version your includes will be different.

NOTE: The calls to StopNUICamera(), DestroyNUIMotor(motor), and DestroyNUICamera() are commented out because they still throw an error when called. It doesn’t seem to be a problem though.

]]> Getting started with Kinect tag:codelaboratories.com,2010:forums/viewthread/.422 2010-11-23T05:46:38Z fodi Hi,

I’m an ASP.Net developer and I only found out that the Kinect had been ‘Windows 7 enabled’ this morning. I rushed straight out and grabbed one.

I want to make this my summer (in Australia) project. I don’t have much experience working with cameras, motors, accelerometers, etc..

Can someone suggest a good place to get started? Books, code samples, all welcome. I’d prefer to stick with C# if possible, but I can jump into C if necessary.


Thanks and Thanks to AlexP smile
