Skeleton Data from OpenNI2

[kerolos]

hello Everyone,

I had installed openni2, and it works fine. I do nott know how can I get the skeleton data, that describes the location and identifies the positions of the joints. or I should install other libraries such as PrimeSense or NITE. I am using ubuntu operating system.
Anther question, it is better if I use SDK in windows that Microsoft Kinect provided to get better results.

I really appreciate any answer, Thank You in advance

If you want skeleton data, I think the Microsoft SDK is better for you because it is not straightforward to get skeleton working with libfreenect2.

actually,Now I am using ubuntu os and I wanna work with PCL in the future.
Could you give me a hint, how can i get Skeleton data by using these libraries "libfreenet2, openni2 .."
thanks in advance

Yes, using the libfreenect2 OpenNi driver combined with NiTE, you could get skeleton data. That does work. But you are not really allowed to use NiTE with non-PrimeSense devices.
