How to setup Kinect Driver with OpenNI in Windows

[Bruno De Araujo]

Hello,

I downloaded and installed OpenNi and PrimeSense Sensor Driver.

Do they already work with the Kinect in Windows? 

or we should using combined with linfreenect Zephod-win32 driver?

I tried the PrimeSense .inf (PrimeSensor Development Kit 2.x to 5.x and  Reference Design), however the driver could not start (error code 10).

I am using Window 7 64 bits, however I would like a 32 bits dev environment.

Best Regards and Congratulation for the OpenNI iniative and Prime Sense,

Best Regards,

Hi Bruno,

We have some patches for the Kinect in our repo:

https://github.com/ros-pkg-git/Sensor

This is still a work in progress, but all of the Kinects in our office
appear to work with these patches now.

regards,
Ken

Hi Ken,

I generated the sensor redist with your version and installed it.

However I do not understand how to proceed after it,

 

when I plug the Kinect it still try to recognize Xbox NUI Stuff (which I removed).  I tried to select the driver directly (add legacy hw) selecting the inf from the OpenNI Driver directory installation but no success.

Any Idea?

Best Regards,

Bruno

I forgot to mention:

We attempted to make our patches compatible with the PS camera as well
(not 100%, but working towards it). Because of this, you have to set
environment variables to select the Kinect vendor IDs:

XN_SENSOR_VENDOR_ID=0x045E
XN_SENSOR_PRODUCT_ID=0x02AE

Sorry for any confusion.

Hi Bruno!

I've prebuilt a kinect supported version and put it in:
https://github.com/avin2/SensorKinect

You can simply run the sensor installtion from the bin there...
Hopefully it will work for you!

And if you want to try NITE, you can look at the readme file :-)

Hi Avin,

Finally I was able to run the NiViewer Demo

using your binary version /bin/SensorKinect-Win32-5.0.0.exe 

and performing the manual installation of the KinectMotor and KinectCamera Driver.

After changing the resolution, NITE examples are also working.

I will try to compile the examples.

Thanks,

Bruno

PrimeSensor Development Kit Driver could not start (error code 10).

I try to summarize so that other people can avoid similar problems


Questions:
a) Where are the drivers?

https://github.com/avin2/SensorKinect

avin2-SensorKinect-8559efd\Platform\Win32\Driver

b) Procedure

select the driver directly (add legacy hw)

You will see

1) Kinect Motor, Kinect Camera
2) PrimeSensor Development Kit 2.x to 5.x and
Reference Design

Questions: do we need to install all 1) and 2) ?
<ONLY INSTALL THE KINECT MOTOR AND CAMERA>



c)avin2-SensorKinect-8559efd\Bin
run
SensorKinect-Win32-5.0.0.exe

d) Install OpenNI and NITE

With this, I can get OpenNI and NITE applications to work

Not all work currently, pls feedbacks if I am missing something, so
others will not waste the time

[likeBVH]

Is there a need to set env parameters?

e..g

XN_SENSOR_VENDOR_ID=0x045E
XN_SENSOR_PRODUCT_ID=0x02AE

Using Avin driver,

I deleted all these env and still work. The answer is no.

Plain simple, run avin driver.

[likeBVH]

Is there a need to use the modified GlobalDefaults.ini that is more
suitable for Kinect.

This, we need feedbacks, some apps work, some apps do not.

[rickypetit]

Hi,

I am trying to use the NITE in Windows 7 32bits.

I installed manually the driver in https://github.com/avin2/SensorKinect
and managed to get the Nui Viewer to work. However, when I try the
samples, all of them say "Can not create a node of the selected type",
an error thrown by the function xnInitFromXmlFile. I have edited the
xml files in the data directory adding the license key provided by the
nui group and setting the resolution to 640x480, like this ( Sample-
Tracking.xml )

<OpenNI>
<Licenses>
<License vendor="PrimeSense" key="0KOIk2JeIBYClPWVnMoRKn5cdY4="/>
</Licenses>
<Log writeToConsole="true" writeToFile="false">

</Configuration>

<Node type="Hands" />

Any idea on how to solve this?

[Ken Conley]

I would check your modules.xml file (I use Linux, so I have no idea
where it is on Windows). I've only seen this error when the plugin
isn't registered, or the libraries are not linked properly.

If your NITE installation is correct, you should see some NITE
libraries registered in it. The niReg tool is what is responsible for
updating this file, but I have no idea how it works on Windows.

Yes. The parameters for the Kinect are different from the PSDK5.0
device, which is what the file is written for.

> This, we need feedbacks, some apps work, some apps do not.

On Linux, I am able to run Sample-NiUserTracker (probably the best
demo), the viewers/readers, players, point viewer, and probably a
couple others that I can't remember. AFAIK, avin's driver is similar
to ours (ros-pkg-git/Sensor) and pulls in some of our changes, so
presumably you would have similar (or better) results.

[likeBVH]

After getting it to work, I keep getting
could not start (error code 10) for the Kinect Camera driver.

I tried once, after restart, it works again. There is a conflict
constantly between the Xbox Kinect Camera driver.

My conf is vista env 32 bit.

I have not figure out how to stablize the driver installation. WIth
the Xbox Kinect Camera driver, there is no such issue.

[likeBVH]

When the driver is working

I can run the NITE Stickfigure, however, still trying to figure out
how to calibrate and display the skeleton.

Now, the main issue for me is to have a stabilize driver in win32
vista env.

[rickypetit]

Hi

i don't have any modules.xml file, maybe that is the problem ;)

[likeBVH]

Right now, there are so many variables, not sure what is actually
needed and what is not, trial and error, right now.

[likeBVH]

If Avin borrow some of the the codes, do we need to set up these env
variables in win32?

XN_SENSOR_VENDOR_ID=0x045E
XN_SENSOR_PRODUCT_ID=0x02AE

At willowgarage site, there are 3 env variables, someone explain pls.

[Radu Bogdan Rusu]

likeBVH,

Yes - the three variables define the use of different sensors with the OpenNI interface. For now, that's the best way to
get multiple (different) cameras working. You need to use all of them with our drivers/engine.

We're working with our colleagues from PrimeSense to provide a better mechanism for this, but in the meantime, this will
have to do.

Cheers,
Radu.

Under Windows, the modules.xml file is located in %OPEN_NI_INSTALL_PATH%\Data\modules.xml.

Hi,

after looking at modules.xml, it seems all correct (all the paths are
ok), but it keep complaining with this message:

InitFromXml failed: Can't create any node of the requested type!

"InitFromXml failed: Can't create any node of the requested type! "

error appears when Kinect is not plugged here, Be sure to remove
existing kinect drivers (libusb, openNUI) then install the one from C:
\Program Files\Prime Sense\Sensor\Driver.

OpenNI samples work fine here but not the ones from NITE, as I have
the following error :
Setting resolution to QVGA
InitFromXml failed: Device Protocol: Bad Parameter sent!

I checked the exe and the following xml is called : C:\Program Files
\Prime Sense\NITE\Data\Sample-Tracking.xml
I tried to change some parameters (like resolution) but still setting
to QVGA even if put 640*480.

I think something need to be changed in the ini file : C:\Program Files
\Prime Sense\Sensor\Data\GlobalDefaults.ini but haven't found what
yet.

You should disregard the "Setting resolution to QVGA" printout - it's from the hands generator's implementation. This is not an error.

Ok; any idea about the bad parameter error in the device protocol ?

[CY]

This is how I make it work,

For the skeleton sample, open up your NITE/Data/Sample-User.xml and
replace the content with these

<OpenNI>
<Licenses>
<License vendor="PrimeSense" key="0KOIk2JeIBYClPWVnMoRKn5cdY4="/>

For Sample-Scene.xml and Sample-Tracking.xml, make sure you uncomment
all the licenses node or replace with

</Licenses>

Hi

I am on Window XP Pro SP3. I use CodeBlocks not VS, but actually just
trying to see if the sensor and examples work so far.

Have installed using https://github.com/avin2/SensorKinect and in
device manager I see PrimeSensor > Kinect Camera & Kinect Motor.

When I go to run anything in C:\Program Files\OpenNI\Samples\Bin
\Release it says missing MSVCR100.dll

I don't have this DLL (not using VS), so I downloaded it and put it in
the same folder. However when I run I still get the error. Any ideas?
Anything I am missing? Thanks

[alx5962]

I edited every xml files with correct licence key but I still have the
bad parameter error :(
Also, even if I specified verbose debug on console in each xml file, I
haven't more infos about this parameter error.... Also where are the
log files saved ?

Thanks

Dear Lior,

So there's a problem I guess,
I specified <Log writeToConsole="true" writeToFile="true"> <LogLevel
value="0"/> in every xml files and not a single log file is created...
And as I run as adminstrator so it's not a right problem.

"InitFromXml failed: Device Protocol: Bad Parameter sent!" and as only
Sample-Tracking.xml in the sample I'm trying so I need to figure out
the problem in the code.

Hi,

in my log, the depth gain is set correctly and there is no [ERROR]

[alx5962]

Check the hardware manager in Windows and tell us if you can see those
hardwares:
PrimeSensor category -> Kinect camera et Kinect Motor
if not remove libusb drivers or something like this.

[rickypetit]

Hi,

the motor was not inside the PrimeSensor group. Now the motor is
inside but no luck still ;(

thanks,

Ricard

[rickypetit]

Hi,

I have uninstalled all the libusb drivers, the Primesense and the
OpenNi programs and I got it working after performing these steps:
- Uninstall previous drivers
- Install v2 Sensor (SensorKinect Module for OpenNI)
- Install OpenNI
- Install PrimeSense Sensor
Test NiViewer, works ok.
- Install NITE
Test samples, works ok

However, always exists one ;), the stick figure sample shows no
images, just a screen with a checkerboard. Will keep trying this, must
be some error in the Sample-user.xml file, althought I set the
modifications specified in this thread

Regards and thanks for all,

Ricard

When running stick figure, please move a bit in the scene in order to be recognized. Once recognize, perform the calibration pose and you're set.

Hi Ricard,

It might be worth using NiUserTracker sample from the OpenNI package,
it's the best sample so far and got good feedback... let me know if it
doesn't work either...

I have this working great on one 64-bit windows 7 box at work, but
when I take it home and go through the same (at least I believe it to
be the same) procedure, I consistently get:

"Open Failed: Device Protocol: Command Invalid!"

Has anyone encountered this? I ran the NITE and OpenNI installers, and
then also ran the installer located here: https://github.com/avin2/SensorKinect/tree/master/Bin.
However, I consistently get this error.

Any insight?

Hi

now the NiUserTracker works!

thanks to all,

hi there

you should try to register like this :

niReg.exe -r XnDeviceFile.dll C:\myWork\Kinect\Prime Scense\Sensor
\Bin

this worked fine for me

Hi,

When running NIViewer I get a "timeout when waiting for new data"
message in the console window, then a full screen black window (with
the text at the bottom) where a small red rectangle appears
occasionally. I'm guessing this isn't the intended functionality of
this program. Any ideas how to get it working?

Thanks in advance,

Neil.

Thank you CY.

After using the config you posted, I also got several PrimeSense
samples to work, that includes: StickFigure, SceneAnalysis, Players,
SingleControl. Before this the error was the " bad parameter" error
that alex has mentioned.

However, I still cannot figure out how to get Boxes, CircleControl and
TrackPad to work. There was no error. The application window pops up
fine. For instance, I can see the circle in the circlecontrol sample.
However, it does not seem to react to my movements at all.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi, I have figured out how to get Boxes and CircleControl and TracePad to work. Basically you need to wave your hand first to activate the application, for some you may also need to do a "focus" action (which is a push button movement) to get things going. For circlecontrol, you will also need to draw a circle with your hand first before it will begin to track and follow your movement.

Hope this is helpful for anyone else who might be confused about this.

Hi all:
We followed the tutorial from Avin with all the installers for OpenNI,
NITE and the drivers (Sensor-Win32-5.0.0.24).
It works fine on one of our machine, except for the NUI Audio which is
not recognized by Windows.

We can run the demos without any problems on this machine, but could
not manage to get it work on any other of our machines. Each time we
try to install it on a new machine, everything goes fine but the
smaples don't work.

We tried NviViewer and got only a black screen with the following
error:
7780857 [VERBOSE] Setting Depth1.Registration to 0...

The drivers are ok in windows (again not the Audio) and we followed
the exact same protocol for installing the software/drivers. This
seems to be the same problem Neil Mendoza described in his post.

Do you have any idea what could go wrong? And how to fix it?
Moreover, we would be interested in getting the Audio to work as well,
is there a way to find the driver of the microphone somewhere?

Thanks a lot.
Best.

Hello Spun,

Can you please post a full log file so I can look and try to help?

The short log you've sent doesn't show all the config commands...

Also, don't worry about the audio device. It's not supposed to be
recognized.

The problem is that on one machine it works correctly while on the
other (using the same XML config file) we got the black screen and
this log.

Any idea?
Many thanks.

I had the same problem these days, everything was caused by the
installation Sensor-Win32-5.0.0.24.exe which apparently is
incompatible ... I solved it with the following version SensorKinect-
Win32-5.0.0.exe

Hi

I have the same probleme ...
I tried with Sensor-Bin-Win32-v5.0.0.25.exe .. but still the same :/
where did you found SensorKinect- Win32-5.0.0.exe I couldn't find it
on Primesens site

thanks
Mat.

[shamok]

Thanx i found them on
http://code.google.com/p/kinemote/downloads/detail?name=SensorKinect-Win32-5.0.0.exe&can=2&q=

and it's working :)

[Aaron Bahr]

When I run any of the debug demos in the PrimeSense/NITE/Samples I get
the error "InitFromXml failed: Output buffer overflow!" I have
followed the directions installing the driver and they show up in the
Device Manager. I am also running Win7 professional x64.

Any help would be great.
