kinect_record
June 10th, 2012 by Ken Mankoff
This post introduces yet another utility that might be useful for Kinect users. My previous posts have suggested using the libfreenect record utility to capture data. That is the workflow that works best with my kinect_register code. However, record does not show you what it is recording, which can be problematic.
I have patched together the OpenKinect record and glview utilities into a program called kinect_record. This program has output identical to record, but also shows the data as it captures it.
You can download the source from GitHub and compile and run it by following the text in the README.txt file.

I’ve also made a similar utility for the XTION. The ‘glview_xtion_record’ program in the xtion branch of my libfreenect fork lets you observe and record data from the XTION Pro (not Live). This mean depth-only, not RGB. https://github.com/mankoff/libfreenect/tree/xtion
