This script uses PyKinectV2 to capture Microsoft Kinect v2 frames, | |
and OpenCV (>=2) to save those as JPG images every minute. | |
Dependencies: PyKinectV2 (https://github.com/Kinect/PyKinect2/) and OpenCV. | |
Running the script | |
1) Make sure that you have a 32 bit version of Python. PyKinectV2 does not run on the 64 bit alternative. | |
If you need to install python on Windows, consider using Anaconda. | |
2) Install OpenCV using conda | |
$ conda install -c conda-forge opencv | |
3) Install PyKinectV2 from the source (see https://github.com/Kinect/PyKinect2/issues/45) | |
$ git clone https://github.com/Kinect/PyKinect2.git | |
$ python -m easy_install PyKinect2 | |
