Hi, Every guys,
     Recently, I am curious about a problem as follows: 
     When a human with clothes is making some action in front of the Kinect, we can get a human's 2.5D profile, but that profile contains the clothes and hard to be used for further studying. Can we get the heat map of the human body by Kinect so we can determine the human hull according to the human's body heat.
     Best regrads, thanks~~
Tsung.

Hi,

You can't get a heat map from a kinect -- heat (for room temperature
objects) is a different wavelength of energy than what the Kinect
detects.
