New SensorKinect v0.5 (by avin) for Windows, Linux & MacOSX

[avin]

I've just finished updating the git repository with the new
version :-)

You can find it in:
https://github.com/avin2/SensorKinect

The bin directory has installers for Windows, Linux & MacOSX.

Make sure to uninstall the old versions to avoid troubles...

Please also note that there was an update to the XML & INI files.
In the new version everything is fully automatic and you don't even
have to specify the resolution anymore.
The driver will automatically detect the hardware and set the right
resolution (which is VGA for the kinect).
So don't forget to update your XML files to the new format (You can
find an example here: https://github.com/avin2/SensorKinect/blob/unstable/OpenNI/Data/SamplesConfig.xml)

Enjoy!

avin.

Grea update, thanks a lot!!!.

Best Regards.

Great work, Thanks
I should uninstall the older version of SensorKinect and OpenNI/PrimeSense then install them all again, right ?

avin,

Thanks for your great work! I've just found that it works very well
on my Windows
and Kinect.

After installation it seems that the PrimeSense Kinect drivers (camera
and motor)
are not updated automatically which were still v 3.1.0.4 so I
updated them into
3.1.2.0 from the driver folder by manual

Again, I really appreciate your quick release since we no longer wait
for and worry
about the release of MS SDK.

Helo, Avin,Really Thanks to you .

I have a problem here, i m using window 64 bit. i have problem while
installing,

~OpenNI Unstable Build for Windows x64 (64-bit) v1.1.0.39 Development
Edition
~ New SensorKinect v0.5 (by avin)
and i follow ur instruction as bellow

0)uninstall all previous openni, primesensor, driver.
1) Install unstable OpenNI (http://www.openni.org/downloadfiles/openni-
binaries/20-latest-unstable)
2) Install Sensor (this version...)[ New SensorKinect v0.5 (by avin)]

during step two i get an error keep ask me install openni 1.1.0.39
version or higher.

pls guide me for window 64 bits, thanks

[Mohd Kufaisal Mohd Sidik]

Thanks avin.. :)

[Paweł Królikowski]

Thanks! 

I've got a stupid question though .. how to uninstall old drivers under Linux? 0_o 

[avin]

Hi Yeouf!

Please install the 32-bit version of OpenNI & NITE.

The 64-bit version is only useful for native 64-bit application which
is not that common really.

Next week I will also compile a 64-bit version of SensorKinect but for
now please use 32-bit.

avin.

[Yeouf Tan]

Avin, Thanks i have successfully install 32-bits
Avin, you are so Great , thank you, support u ^.^

Hi guys:

Little help here please!!

Trying to run the ./Sample-NiUserTracker included in OpenNI on my
linux Fedora12 machine I get:

Find user generator failed: Can't create any node of the requested
type!

I'm using the last unstable branch of OpenNI with last avin2 drivers and also try with the last stable version of each one, all .xml files seems to be fine and I put on they the NITE free public licence key just in case, modules.xml also
seems ok. But no matter what, alwways same issue, so it have to be something on my system/config!!!

Weird thing is that the RGBDemo UserTracker sample works, but they
statically link they binaries to they own OpenNI, NITE and avin2
version libs and they don't use the system installed ones.

Any ideas how to solve this?, I read some posts about this issue, I
apply what they mention (mostly the licence thing and the resolution
value on those files), but the issue persist.

Please guys, any help would be appreciated, I don't want to go to ubuntu to use my kinect and I need to run the UserTraker from OpenNI not the one from RGBDemo....

Thanks!

Mauricio

Hi avin,

Thank you for your work. Are you sure that the current driver works
with 64-bit Windows? I installed OpenNI unstable (32-bit version as
you proposed) and then installed your driver.

I try to run the samples, but I get an error indicating that
OpenNI.dll is missing.

I also installed middleware and hardware binaries, but nothing
changed.

Thank you in advance.

[deriglazov]

Hello, avin. Thanks for your work.

I do some changes to redist.py to create installer for x64. I never
use python before and I not sure that my changes enough for full x64
support but it work. Maybe it can be useful for your work.

So, I'm use python 3.1.3.amd64, OpenNI-Win64-1.1.0.39-Dev-Unstable,
VS2008 and VS2010.

# This code is mod of initial redist.py created by avin...@gmail.com

# Python version: 3.1.3.amd64
# Platform: Windows 7 x64
# OpenNI: OpenNI-Win64-1.1.0.39-Dev-Unstable
# VS: VS2008 and VS2010

# Code was modificate to automate creating redist for x64 version of
Win platform because initial version isn't work correctly. You can
change env "vc_build_bits", "VC_version" and VS_INST_DIR_09
(VS_INST_DIR_10) to build installer for your platform.

Hi,

Thank you very much for your work.

I have a little problem too: (I'm using Windows x64)

0) I uninstall all previous versions of OpenNI, NITE, drivers.
1) I install last unstable version of OpenNI (32bit version as you
suggest)
2) I install your new SensorKinect.

But during the set up, I get an error:

Output folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Prime Sense\Sensor\SampleXMLs
Execute: "C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenNI\\Bin\niReg.exe" "C:\Program
Files (x86)\Prime Sense\Sensor\Bin\XnDeviceFile.dll"
Installation Failed! Could not register module with OpenNI!

According this topic : https://groups.google.com/group/openni-dev/msg/a79200be18d727f2
I check my administrator permission, I turn off UAC, and reboot, but I
get still the same problem.

Any idea where does my problem come from?

Thank you in advance


Best regards
Baptiste.

Try right clicking on the installation *.exe and click on "Run as
administrator", see if that helps.

Hi Siyfion,

Thank you for your idea, I have just tried it, but unfortunately it
doesn't change anything.

Try to remove this folder manually before setup "c:\Program Files (x86)\OpenNI\Data\" and check this file "modules.xml" maybe it has another structure or read-only.

Guys, I'd like to ask you all a clarification about the driver to use for 

the Kinect, because I found also this: https://github.com/boilerbots/Sensor

Is this similar to Avin's one? Which is the best to use?

Thank you all and sorry if this is not the proper thread to post in.

the setup, but still the same problem.

[Siyfion]

boilerbots sensor driver was a quick hack as a proof of concept,
Avin's is much more complete and has been used / tested by the
community to a much greater extent, as such I'd use Avin's!

Hi it's me again, (sorry for the spam)

Just to inform you, I solved my problem:

I download again alvin's folder with another browser, and it's works.
I think my first download was corrupted, but it's weird that I didn't
get any warning.

Anyway I'm happy it's works :)

Thank you all.

So. Use avin's driver (x86 version). This one (https://github.com/boilerbots/Sensor) was last updated December 09, 2010

Hey avin-

Any chance you could do another update? It's up to v1.1.0.41 now in
the unstable branch and luckly I still had the .39 version installed.
When you get a chance.

Geez,

NITE and OpenNI has been updated - but not the sensor driver;)

OpenNI 1.1.0.41 + NITE 1.1.3.5 + Avin's last drivers (for 1.1.0.39) work correctly.

Hi Jacob,

I built the 64 bit version of the avin2 driver but it isn't working
very good:
NITE skeleton data are not reported correctly.

Alessio

[m17]

Is there any x64 build already? I'm using fornative64-bit 3d program,
x86 driver not work for me.
