I'm trying to use OpenCV with Kinect on Windows 7 x64, so I installed OpenNI, NITE and PrimeSense (by avin2).
I used CMake to compile the OpenCV 2.3.1, everything is correct with CMake Flags I checked, but I tried to use a simple code and it never found the Kinect.
All the samples of OpenNI and PrimeSense work fine. I already installed x86 and x64 drivers and it still doesn't work!
I'm using VideoCapture, and isOpened, always returns 0.
Anyone know the solution?
I did that under linux ubuntu 12.04 last week end and that work fine.
Try to re-install componant by componant, and recompile your openCV.
I did that last week end.
But I agree there is things wich are not clear about how deal with that. I replaced the kinect by an assus xtion and right now that don't work... but this an other topic.
About PrimeSense hardware, as I khnow kinect is made by PrimeSense... moreover PrimeSense is a member of the OpenNI project which is use in background of the libraries P.C.L. , openCV, and on the ros's openni_camera stack...
I have installed the opencv kinect on windows 7-64its (Professional) and works fine.
1.Drivers to kinect: here
Note
When you to install the dirvers make sure that the "Windows update" will not install aditional
drivers.
Tip: Disconnect the internet when you install it. ;)
Check in the "Device Manager" and search for PrimeSense.
Something like this:
Check if it's working. Run a OpenNI sample.
2.OpenCV
Download it:
...://sourceforge.net/projects/opencvlibrary/files/opencv-win/2.3.1/OpenCV-2.3.1-win-superpack.exe/download
Configure the opencv on cmake. Remeber check to on the "OpenNI" option. Maybe you'll get an erro like "warning: PrimeSense..." this happen because the OpenCVFindOpenNI.cmake is outdated.
You have to do some changes. Go to here and download the changes:
Click here and download it (at bottom of page: "Download in other formats: Original Format").
You have to do the changes in the original file "OpenCVFindOpenNI.cmake". It's in the root folder "OpenCV-2.3.1\"
The line that has "-" you delete and the line tha has "+" you replace/add.
Configure and compile the openCV. After this it'll works fine, at least it should... :)
Sure.. You have to compile... ;) I my case - Visual Studio C++ 9(2008) - (I compiled in the Release mode only)
You have to set the "bin" in the patch of system after compile..
Run a sample:
"OpenCV-2.3.1\samples\cpp\kinect_maps.cpp" and enjoy.
