NITE for MacOSX 10.6 is now available! Plus a new NITE.net wrapper for C#/Mono as a surprise :-)

[Ziv Hendel]

Hi Everyone!

NITE for MacOSX 10.6 is now available to download from www.openni.org!
(Check out the unstable versions under the download section).

We have also prepared a brand new awesome C#/Mono wrapper called
NITE.net that replaces the old ManagedNITE so please go check it
out :-)

The unstable sources and binaries for both OpenNI & Sensor modules
were updated as well so please grab a fresh copy from:
Binaries:
http://www.openni.org/downloadfiles
Sources:
https://github.com/OpenNI/OpenNI/tree/unstable
https://github.com/PrimeSense/Sensor/tree/unstable

Enjoy!
Ziv.

[George Toledo]

Thanks Ziv. How exciting!

Ziv,

 

Can you clarify when one would want to use NITE.net over OpenNI.net, or should we use both?

 

Thanks,

Josh

Hi Josh!

They are not the same and provide completely different functionality.

OpenNI.net provides all the basic OpenNI types (like depth, image,
skeleton, etc...) and NITE.net is exposing the extra things from the
NITE library that runs on top like gesture recognition (push, wave,
hand swipes...), UI control elements (sliders, boxes, etc...) and some
more.

do we have the depth and image on NITE.net as well? i think before
that generators weren't available, also is there new samples or some
documentation of NITE.net ?

thanks

Hello mac users,

I've released the SensorKinect driver with OSX support and precompiled
OSX bins.
Please see:

Ziv,

 

I'm working with the HandsGenerator with OpenNI.net and using NITE.

 

I have enabled multiple hand tracking and have found that the first hand works pretty well but the second hand almost always is jumpy and lower framerate than the first hand. The second hand's position seems to jump around from the top-center of my palm to my wrist and some other places, each time pausing for a second before the next jump. While this is going on the first hand gets nice smooth 30 fps points. This occurs regardless of position and which hand is first. My hands are approximately 4 feet from the PrimeSensor.

 

Do you have any tips for fixing this or is this a bug in NITE's hand tracker?

 

Thanks,

Josh

Hi Ziv

One sample does not run: Sample-NiUserTracker -- it errors out with:
"Find user generator failed: Can't create any node of the requested
type!"

I've installed Avin's Kinect driver and entered the license key into
the three XML files.

I've searched around, reinstalled a few times, but no dice.

Any idea what is wrong?

(MacBook Pro, Snow Leopard 10.6.6)

Did you check the terminal for any unusual feedback during install? I went through the installs, and only a few minutes ago had a change to actually try the skeletal tracker and examples going in OS X.

Some stuff I didn't expect:

-Needed to update Java (why, who knows, but you do).

-There was a message in Terminal that one of the libs installed ok, but that Python version should be changed. It gave the instruct on what that was, I did it, and it turned out ok.

-The doing the installs required that I cd to the folder of the install file, then run " sudo sh install.sh ", to my memory. If the sudo command wasn't given, it wasn't giving the correct permissions, and whatever it said to do in the read me didn't work correctly either. When I'm running the example apps, I cd to the folder, then drag the executable.

I didn't have to enter the license into the xml or anything. I had a prompt to enter the nite license in Terminal during install, and I don't seem to need to enter it into the xml's, at least for NIViewer and NIUserTracker, the two examples that I've tried so far.

I would probably try to go through the steps of openni, driver, nite install again and see if there are any errors or warnings.

Hi Josh!

There are indeed problems with the 2nd hand tracking of NITE.
This is why it's OFF by default and the only way you got it working is
by changing some undocumented parameter in an undocumented ini file.

It will be fixed in a future version of course but I cannot comment on
when.

Sorry!

Ziv.

Hello Resprung,
Did you remember to also install NITE?
(Which contains the user tracking and skeleton modules, etc...)

You can find it in:
http://www.openni.org/downloadfiles/openni-compliant-middleware-binaries/33-latest-unstable

Run: "sudo ./install.sh" to install it.

If you did install NITE, can you please post the output of:
"niReg -l"

Thanks,
Ziv.

[Ziv Hendel]

Hi Rui!
Depth and Image should come from OpenNI.net, not NITE.net

Thanks,
Ziv.

HI George,
Any idea what triggered the Java/Python updates?

I've installed everything into a totally fresh installation of OSX
10.6 and I was not required to do any updates to the Java or Python.

Very strange...

The Java prompt came when installing libusb-devel +universal. I think the python prompt happened sometime while doing the initial install of macports.

I'm not sure what would have caused it. Here's my system and dev-tools info:

System Version: Mac OS X 10.6.5 (10H574)

Developer Version: 3.1 (9M2621)

So, backing up, trying to install the binaries.

I already installed libusb. Grabbed the Sourceforge code, v1.0.8,
from

http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb/

did a build, which put it in /usr/local/lib/libusb-1.0.0.dylib . I
linked from /opt/local/lib/libusb-1.0.0.dylib because that's where the
OpenNi seemed to look for it. Went to install again and got this:

MacOSX-v1.0.0.25

As I poke around on Google, I don't see any libusb 2.0,0. It looks
like 1.0.8 dates to May of last year. Where do I find a compatible
libusb?

[takahashi]

why don't you use macports?

sudo port install libusb-devel +universal

[Ziv Hendel]

Hi John,

Please check out the README file.

As takahashi pointed out, you must install libusb from macports since
it contains a patched version that works with isochronous usb
transfers correctly.
The regular 1.0.8 version from the libusb source repository is not
patched and does not work on OSX.

Thanks,
Ziv.

P.S.
If you still want to build the source yourself, you can find the
required diff patch for libusb 1.0.8 on OSX here:
https://github.com/OpenKinect/libfreenect/blob/master/platform/osx/libusb-osx-kinect.diff

[Nicholas Butko]

Note that it is also important to install "libusb-devel +universal", because OpenNI tries to compile in universal mode, by default.

Hi Resprung!
It seems that none of the NITE modules are registered...
(XnVFeatures and XnVHandGenerator)

Can you please reinstall it and try again?

You can get it from:
http://www.openni.org/downloadfiles/openni-compliant-middleware-binaries/33-latest-unstable
(run "sudo ./install.sh" after you download and unpack the file)

Thanks,
Ziv.

Hi Ziv

Great. It's running now. Thanks a million :-)

I may have missed something in this thread, but when I attempt to
install Nite I get a request " Please enter your PrimeSense license
key: " I don't know the key.

Hi Ziv,
I've installed Sensor-Bin-MacOSX-v5-2.0.0.25 and Nite-Bin-MacOSX-
v1-2.3.0.18 and libusb-devel on my MacBook Pro (10.6.6).
But NiUsrTracker sample does not work.

I found that "55-primesense-usb.rules" file is not installed any
directory and does not exist "/etc/udev/rules.d".

Please help.
