Kinect Skeletal Tracking Not Working

Question

So currently I have a bool PersonDetected which is always set to false UNLESS a Skeleton is detected. But currently when a SkeletonTrackingState is marked as Tracked, but PersonDetected is still set to false. Thanks in advance

My Code

Skeleton skeletons = new Skeleton();

            if ((skeletons.TrackingState == SkeletonTrackingState.Tracked ||
                skeletons.TrackingState == SkeletonTrackingState.PositionOnly) &
                skeletons.TrackingState != SkeletonTrackingState.NotTracked)
                {
                    PersonDetected = true;
                }

Haha that was the old version, I don't know if it's still true, but even with commented out, `PersonDetected` is never `true`, and why that's there at all is because my dogs `diff` used to be under 9 — Liam McInroy, May 04 '12 at 19:38
@DelusionalLogic Because I'm weird like that;), actually thought I'd have to use `Math.Exponent` or whatever — Liam McInroy, May 04 '12 at 19:42
@OutlawLemur depends on the compiler. from what i know Visual studio compiles the ^ operator just fine. — Delusional Logic, May 06 '12 at 20:24
@OutlawLemur good to know. i guess even the internet can be wrong sometimes. :P — Delusional Logic, May 10 '12 at 08:23

I discovered the reason that it wasn't registering was because skeletons was just a variable, not a Skeleton being tracked, so I added the following code to make sure that it worked:

Skeleton skeletons = new Skeleton();

            skeletons = (from s in allSkeletons
                         where s.TrackingState == SkeletonTrackingState.Tracked ||
                         s.TrackingState == SkeletonTrackingState.PositionOnly
                         select s).FirstOrDefault();

            if (skeletons == null)
            {
                return;
            }

            if ((skeletons.TrackingState == SkeletonTrackingState.Tracked ||
                skeletons.TrackingState == SkeletonTrackingState.PositionOnly))
            {
                PersonDetected = true;
            }

Debug "diff". I'll bet it`s higher than 9

After that debug parts where you're incrementing diff.

Sorry, that was the old version, I know that `diff` is no longer 9, Check edit – Liam McInroy May 04 '12 at 19:40
@OutlawLemur just debug the skeleton status. Are you using KinectSkeletonChooser ? – Fixus May 05 '12 at 06:10
I am using KinectSkeletonChooser – Liam McInroy May 05 '12 at 12:38
@OutlawLemur so why won`t you picked actual tracked skeleton from the skeleton chooser ? Why you create new instance of it ? – Fixus May 05 '12 at 12:41
