Kinect-based object Tracking

556 views Asked by At

I'm a beginner in Kinect development, trying to develop a real-time object tracker using openCV-Kinect on python, which will find me the X- and Y-coordinates of the object using the Camshift algorithm & Z-coordinates by somehow using the Depth Stream of the Kinect. Is there a way to directly access the depth value of every pixel?

Open www.google.com

Enter "kinect depth stream"

Click first result: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj131028.aspx

Read line three:

Each frame of the depth data stream is made up of pixels that contain the distance (in millimeters) from the camera plane to the nearest object.

Look around for 2 seconds and find the link Getting and Displaying Depth Data: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj131029.aspx
