Guide to understand data from Prime sense sensor?

Question

I looking for sources to understand the data from Prime sense sensor. My first goal will be detecting if there is a object in front of the sensor. How to I know that from data? I can not find a guide for that

Answer 1

You are looking for documentation on the SDKs, not the sensor itself.

• Microsoft Kinect SDK, on MSDN
• OpenKinect
• OpenNI

These are what provide you the information you can parse to determine if something is in front of the camera and if it is a person.

If you just wanting to use the device as a camera, without depth and skeleton analysis, then you can use one of the many image processing libraries.
