PyKinectv2 Body tracking count

Asked 2021-May-19 at 00:19

New to pykinect and kinect in general -- trying to simply get a count of bodies currently being tracked. No skeletal or joint data required. Just want to get a running count of bodies currently in frame. I am using a kinect-v2 and pykinect2.

Being more specific, I'm trying to track how many bodies are in frame and the time elapsed since that value changed. (0 people to 1 person, 1 person to 2, etc.) Due to the built examples for pykinect and the way that they loop, this has proven difficult however. The latest attempt (Now updated with the solved code):

Kinect V2 vs PyKinect2 : difference between depth image

Asked 2019-Feb-02 at 09:16

I'm currently working on the kinect V2 to have access to the depth image. I use the library in python PyKinect2 that help me to have this images.

My first problem is :

-> I run KinectStudio 2, and look for the depth image, i look for the implementation of the PyKinect2 and i have a different image. How that could be possible ?

-> To have access to the depth of specific point called X(x,y), I use the method MapColorFrameToDepthSpace, and i manage to have some coordinates that will help me to have the distance on the depth frame. Is this assertion is correct ?

to get the depth image :

Dynamic Gesture Recognition and Kinect with Python?

Asked 2018-Jul-25 at 04:28

I am working on "Kinect for XBox One" on my HP Laptop with Windows 10 and 64-bit operating system. I have worked on python before and want to work in it only with jupyter notebok or python command line. The topic of my project is Dynamic Sign Language Recognition and till now I have worked on only static images. I found many tutorials for working with kinect camera but every tutorial has been done with C++, C# or Sketch in Processing 3. I have downloaded Processing 3 and tried some programs in Sketch also by following this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKatPT3HlqA But even after 2 days, I am not able to run a simple program in it and only a black picture is there as an output, kinect is detected though.

I have also tried Pykinect and python example from this link: https://github.com/Kinect/PyKinect2

It was good and I was able to track the skeleton of the body. I want to learn Pykinect and many more such examples but I am not getting any source from where I can learn all these. My aim is to use all the three cues:RGB, Depth, and Skeleton for my work.

Even for dynamic gesture recognition, there are projects in C++ and languages other than python.

If you have any suggestions regarding kinect with python and dynamic gesture recognition, then you are welcome.

After searching for days, I figured out that there are no tutorials on Kinect using Python. Those who want to learn kinect with python and Windows should go to this link first: https://github.com/Kinect/PyKinect2 Go by the instructions and run the example programs whether in Visual studio, python command line or jupyter notebook. There are no tutorials defining the programming functions of Pykinect library. The only way to learn it is through one more link: https://github.com/Microsoft/PTVS Explore this link as it has one or two more examples which will help in understanding the functions. I am not done yet so I will keep updating my answer if I find any more sources.

QUESTION

Webots robot doesn't speak while trying to use it with an external Kinect

Asked 2017-Dec-04 at 08:09

I'm trying to create a Webots simulation where I want my robot to speak when the Kinect camera detects a person.

I have a Kinect V2 hooked up to the USB port and it can detect a person on its own by running my Python code using PyKinect2 and pygame.

As the next step, I put that code into the Webots environment and I've added a robot to speak to the user when Kinect detects them. However, when the Kinect starts running and the window pops up, Webots clock stops ticking and the robot doesn't do anything. After I close the Kinect window, the robot speaks the message but that code should have been executed inside the Kinect code, as listed below.

I believe this might be a synchronization issue due to Kinect and Webots having their own clocks, but I'm not sure. Even if that's the case, I don't know how to proceed. Any advice is welcome.

Here are the relevant parts of my code, I can provide the full code if needed. The Kinect body detection is a slightly modified version of this example:

Webots needs that you call the robot.step(timeStep) function on a regular basis in order to progress on the simulation time, otherwise it will simply stop the simulation and wait until the next call to robot.step(timeStep). I would simply add a call to robot.step(timeStep) in your main loop, right before self._clock.tick(30) and uncomment the initialization of timeStep in your main program.

Note that if your Webots simulation is running in real time, calling robot.step(X) will last approximately X milliseconds. So you should probably set the WorldInfo.basicTimeStep to 30 milliseconds in your world file and get rid of the call to self._clock.tick(30).
