Detailed Description

Driver for the Kinect-1 device.

To be enabled this class requires libfreenect 3rd party. Installation instructions are provided here https://visp.inria.fr/3rd_freenect.

The following example shows how to use this class to acquire data (depth map and color image) from a Kinect.

#include <visp3/core/vpImage.h>
#include <visp3/sensor/vpKinect.h>
int main() {
#ifdef VISP_HAVE_LIBFREENECT_AND_DEPENDENCIES
// Init Kinect device
#ifdef VISP_HAVE_LIBFREENECT_OLD
// This is the way to initialize Freenect with an old version of libfreenect
// package under ubuntu lucid 10.04
Freenect::Freenect<vpKinect> freenect;
vpKinect * kinect = &freenect.createDevice(0);
#else
Freenect::Freenect freenect;
vpKinect * kinect = &freenect.createDevice<vpKinect>(0);
#endif
kinect->start(); // Start acquisition thread
// Set tilt angle
float angle = -5;
kinect->setTiltDegrees(angle);
vpImage<vpRGBa> Irgb(480,640);
vpImage<float> dmap(480,640);
// Acquisition loop
for (int i=0; i<100; i++)
{
kinect->getDepthMap(dmap,I);
kinect->getRGB(Irgb);
}
kinect->stop(); // Stop acquisition thread
#endif
return 0;
}

Warp the RGB frame to the depth camera frame. The size of the resulting IrgbWarped frame is the same as the size of the depth map Idepth

Compute metric coordinates in the ir camera Frame :

Change frame :

compute pixel coordinates of the corresponding point in the depth image

Fill warped image value
