Kinect in Windows for Processing 5

Posted by bryan

This is a more or less finished version of the Kinect for Processing library. It includes the basic skeleton tracking, the RGB image, depth image and a mask image. I shall move the related posts to the research page with more documentation on the data structure and method description. Stay tune.
 

 
The sample Processing code:

import pKinect.PKinect;
import pKinect.SkeletonData;
 
PKinect kinect;
PFont font;
ArrayList<SkeletonData> bodies;
PImage img;
 
void setup()
{
  size(640, 480);
  background(0);
  kinect = new PKinect(this);
  bodies = new ArrayList<SkeletonData>();
  smooth();
  font = loadFont("LucidaSans-18.vlw");
  textFont(font, 18);
  textAlign(CENTER);
  img = loadImage("background.png");
}
 
void draw()
{
  background(0);
  image(kinect.GetImage(), 320, 0, 320, 240);
  image(kinect.GetDepth(), 320, 240, 320, 240);
  image(img, 0, 240, 320, 240);
  image(kinect.GetMask(), 0, 240, 320, 240);
  for (int i=0; i<bodies.size(); i++) 
  {
    drawSkeleton(bodies.get(i));
    drawPosition(bodies.get(i));
  }
}
 
void mousePressed()

void drawPosition(SkeletonData _s)

  String s1 = str(_s.dwTrackingID);
  text(s1, _s.position.x*width/2, _s.position.y*height/2);

Kinect for Windows in Processing 4

Posted by bryan

This is the new version of the Kinect for Processing library using the Kinect for Windows 1.5 SDK. In this version, I only implement the skeleton tracking, without the previous RGB image and depth image yet. For all the field, method and constant names, I try to use the same ones as in the SDK. It can have multiple skeletons and comes with three events:

  • appear (new skeleton enters the screen)
  • disappear (existing skeleton leaves the screen)
  • move (existing skeleton stay in the screen)

 

Here is the example Processing code.

import pKinect.PKinect;
 
PKinect kinect;
PFont font;
ArrayList<SkeletonData> bodies;
 
void setup()
{
  size(640, 480);
  background(0);
  kinect = new PKinect(this);
  bodies = new ArrayList<SkeletonData>();
  smooth();
  font = loadFont("LucidaSans-18.vlw");
  textFont(font, 18);
  textAlign(CENTER);
}
 
void draw()
{
  fill(0, 0, 0, 16);
  rect(0, 0, width, height);
  for (int i=0; i<bodies.size(); i++) 
  {
    drawSkeleton(bodies.get(i));
    drawPosition(bodies.get(i));
  }
}
 
void drawPosition(SkeletonData _s) 
{
  noStroke();
  fill(0, 255, 255);
  String s1 = str(_s.dwTrackingID);
  text(s1, _s.position.x*width, _s.position.y*height);
}
 
void drawSkeleton(SkeletonData _s) 
{
  // Body
  DrawBone(_s, 
  PKinect.NUI_SKELETON_POSITION_HEAD, 
  PKinect.NUI_SKELETON_POSITION_SHOULDER_CENTER);
  DrawBone(_s, 
  PKinect.NUI_SKELETON_POSITION_SHOULDER_CENTER, 
  PKinect.NUI_SKELETON_POSITION_SHOULDER_LEFT);

Kinect for Windows in Processing 3

Posted by bryan

Finally, the skeleton part of the library is done. In this very experimental version, I extract only one skeleton and store the joints information in an array (size 20) of PVector type in Processing. The tracking state is not implemented yet. I use the z-depth value to indicate if that joint is validly tracked or not. The x and y values are normalized to the range from 0 to 1 in the screen space. In the next version, I would like to implement the async event of tracking. It is time to integrate the all three components:

  1. Individual RGB and depth images
  2. Aligned RGB and depth image
  3. Skeleton tracking

 

 
Here is a copy of the sample Processing code.

import pKinect.PKinect;
 
PKinect kinect;
PVector [] loc;
 
void setup()
{
  size(640, 480);
  kinect = new PKinect(this);
  smooth();
  noFill();
  stroke(255, 255, 0);
}
 
void draw()
{
  background(0);
  loc = kinect.getSkeleton();
  drawSkeleton();
}
 
void drawSkeleton()
{
  // Body
  DrawBone(kinect.NUI_SKELETON_POSITION_HEAD,
  kinect.NUI_SKELETON_POSITION_SHOULDER_CENTER);
  DrawBone(kinect.NUI_SKELETON_POSITION_SHOULDER_CENTER,
  kinect.NUI_SKELETON_POSITION_SHOULDER_LEFT);
  DrawBone(kinect.NUI_SKELETON_POSITION_SHOULDER_CENTER,
  kinect.NUI_SKELETON_POSITION_SHOULDER_RIGHT);
  DrawBone(kinect.NUI_SKELETON_POSITION_SHOULDER_CENTER,
  kinect.NUI_SKELETON_POSITION_SPINE);
  DrawBone(kinect.NUI_SKELETON_POSITION_SPINE,
  kinect.NUI_SKELETON_POSITION_HIP_CENTER);
  DrawBone(kinect.NUI_SKELETON_POSITION_HIP_CENTER,
  kinect.NUI_SKELETON_POSITION_HIP_LEFT);
  DrawBone(kinect.NUI_SKELETON_POSITION_HIP_CENTER,
  kinect.NUI_SKELETON_POSITION_HIP_RIGHT);
 
  // Left Arm
  DrawBone(kinect.NUI_SKELETON_POSITION_SHOULDER_LEFT,
  kinect.NUI_SKELETON_POSITION_ELBOW_LEFT);
  DrawBone(kinect.NUI_SKELETON_POSITION_ELBOW_LEFT,
  kinect.NUI_SKELETON_POSITION_WRIST_LEFT);
  DrawBone(kinect.NUI_SKELETON_POSITION_WRIST_LEFT,
  kinect.NUI_SKELETON_POSITION_HAND_LEFT);
 
  // Right Arm

  kinect.NUI_SKELETON_POSITION_WRIST_RIGHT);
  DrawBone(kinect.NUI_SKELETON_POSITION_WRIST_RIGHT,
  kinect.NUI_SKELETON_POSITION_HAND_RIGHT);
 
  // Left Leg
  DrawBone(kinect.NUI_SKELETON_POSITION_HIP_LEFT,
  kinect.NUI_SKELETON_POSITION_KNEE_LEFT);
  DrawBone(kinect.NUI_SKELETON_POSITION_KNEE_LEFT,
  kinect.NUI_SKELETON_POSITION_ANKLE_LEFT);
  DrawBone(kinect.NUI_SKELETON_POSITION_ANKLE_LEFT,
  kinect.NUI_SKELETON_POSITION_FOOT_LEFT);
 
  // Right Leg
  DrawBone(kinect.NUI_SKELETON_POSITION_HIP_RIGHT,
  kinect.NUI_SKELETON_POSITION_KNEE_RIGHT);
  DrawBone(kinect.NUI_SKELETON_POSITION_KNEE_RIGHT,
  kinect.NUI_SKELETON_POSITION_ANKLE_RIGHT);
  DrawBone(kinect.NUI_SKELETON_POSITION_ANKLE_RIGHT,
  kinect.NUI_SKELETON_POSITION_FOOT_RIGHT);
}
 
void DrawBone(int _s, int _e)
{
  if (loc == null)
  {
    return;
  }
  PVector p1 = loc[_s];
  PVector p2 = loc[_e];
  if (p1.z == 0.0 || p2.z == 0.0)
  {
    return;
  }
  line(p1.x*width, p1.y*height, p2.x*width, p2.y*height);
}

This version of the code (for Windows 7, both 32-bit and 64-bit) is available here.

More on GridFlow for Pure Data

Posted by bryan

Further to the previous post on GridFlow in Pure Data, I include here the installation steps for GridFlow. The Pd Extended package does not include GridFlow. After I download the file from the GridFlow website, I unzip it into the gridflow-9.13 folder. To install, I copy the inside gridflow folder to the following location:

/Library/Pd/

Within Pure Data preference, I add the path and startup option for GridFlow as shown in the following diagrams.

GridFlow path
Startup Option

To continue from the previous post with the integration of GEM and GridFlow, I redo one of my Processing work of slit-scan image in Pure Data. The GridFlow package comes with a similar example.

The source patch of the slit-scan example is:

Kinect for Windows in Processing 2

Posted by bryan

After the first post of the Kinect for Windows library, this is the second version of the Kinect for Windows in Processing. I modified the pixels array to contain only the colour pixels of players. The rest is painted green as background. In this version, I align the colour and depth pixels in one output frame buffer, with the use of the NuiImageGetColorPixelCoordinateFrameFromDepthPixelFrameAtResolution method.
 

 
The Processing code is here. The DLL is in the code folder of the sketch. In this version, I used Windows 7 32-bit and Java 7. I’ll consolidate to build both the 32-bit and 64-bit once the interface is more stable.

I use the Kinect for Windows 1.5 SDK.

Kinect for Windows in Processing 1

Posted by bryan

Finally, I start to work on a Processing library to work with Kinect for Windows SDK. This very preliminary version shows only the colour image and the depth image. For the depth image, I convert the original 13 bit depth map into a PImage for easy display. Both images are of the size 640 x 480.

You can download this for a try. It is created in Windows 7 64bit and Java 7. More to work!

The code is very straightforward.

import pKinect.PKinect;
 
PKinect kinect;
 
void setup()
{
  size(1280, 480);
  background(0);
  kinect = new PKinect(this);
}
 
void draw()
{
  image(kinect.GetImage(), 0, 0);
  image(kinect.GetDepth(), 640, 0);
}
 
void mousePressed()
{
  println(frameRate);
}
