XKin - hand gesture recognition with kinect

[Fabrizio Pedersoli]

Hi *,

We have developed XKin, an open source library _especially_ designed for
hand gesture recognition [1]. It is built on top of libfreenect and
opencv and it is capable to perform real time recognition of both posture
(static hand pose) and gesture (dynamic hand movement). It is written
in C, released under BSD license and hosted on github. We encourage
anyone to take a look at our public repository [1]. Since this project is in an early developement stage any kind of
feedback is really welcome, such as: new features to add, improvements,
criticisms, comments and so on...

Hi
Having installed the library I tried to run the demo

zafar@system:~/src/Xkin/demo/demo$ sudo ./demoposture -i ../tools/testposture -d ../img/

I got the error

OpenCV Error: Parsing error (../tools/testposture(0): Too long string or a last string w/o newline) in icvXMLSkipSpaces, file /build/buildd/opencv-2.3.1/modules/core/src/persistence.cpp, line 1750
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'cv::Exception'
  what():  /build/buildd/opencv-2.3.1/modules/core/src/persistence.cpp:1750: error: (-212) ../tools/testposture(0): Too long string or a last string w/o newline in function icvXMLSkipSpaces

Does your library require OpenCV >=2.4?
