Building OpenNI + SensorKinect on Ubuntu 12.04

[Tom Cook]

Hi,

I'm trying to build OpenNI + SensorKinect on Ubuntu 12.04, running in a VMWare virtual machine.  Can someone recommend a good way to get this combination working?

I've tried getting the latest of both projects from GitHub, but the Linux USB interface code seems to be out of sync - recent changes to SensorKinect seem to depend on changes to OpenNI that haven't been merged to GitHub yet. The problems start in XnDeviceSensorIO.h, which refers to a type, XnUSBEventArgs, which isn't defined anywhere.

I've tried getting the SensorKinect code from Dec 22 last year.  It builds, but when I try to run it I get the message that the Xiron OS got an event timeout.  The XnSensorServer process is running, but the logs don't show anything interesting.

Any hints?

Thanks,

Tom

I've built OpenNI + Sensor + SensorKinect + NITE

on my 32-bit Ubuntu 12.04 with no problems.

Thanks for responding.  Did you build released versions or the git head?

I built the last unstable OpenNI, Sensor, and SensorKinect from Git.

Ah, remember to disable the kinect kernel module.

gspc_kinect or something like that.

Yes, I did that.  It looked like this:

git clone https://github.com/OpenNI/OpenNI.git

cd OpenNI/Platform/Linux/CreateRedist

./RedistMaker

cd ../Redist/OpenNI-Bin-Dev-Linux-x64-v1.5.2.23/

sudo ./install.sh

cd

git clone https://github.com/avin2/SensorKinect
cd SensorKinect/Platform/Linux/CreateRedist

./RedistMaker

cd Sensor-Bin-Linux-x64-v5.1.0.25

sudo ./install.sh

But I get errors as described in my original post.  Have I missed something.  You said you built something called Sensor as well as SensorKinect - what is that?

Thanks again,

Tom

PrimeSense released the open-source drivers (called Sensor) for the Xtion Pro.

Then, Microsoft used that same technology for the Kinect.

Even although the technology is the same, Sensor isn't compatible with Kinect.

Then, avin2 forked the Sensor drivers and adapted them to work with the kinect.

So, they're called SensorKinect.

I don't have an Xtion, but I also install Sensor before installing SensorKinect. ;-)

Just to make sure, did you blacklist the kinect module?

Your error is that you aren't checking out the unstable branch,

so SensorKinect can't build because it needs some of the latest features.

After cloning the repo:

git clone https://github.com/OpenNI/OpenNI.git

do:

cd OpenNI

git checkout unstable

then, build/install as normal.

The problem should be gone.

I recommend you to do the same on SensorKinect.
