Kinect_calibration_toolbox

Code

This toolbox contains some useful Matlab code for Kinect (ASUS Xtion) RGB and depth camera calibration.

This is a modified Matlab code from Herrera's TPAMI paper "Joint depth and color camera calibration with distortion correction".

Usage

Run main_script.m to start, main code is quite easy to understand as long as you follow the command prompts.

Basically, it calibrates using your pre-obtained data (offline).

Kinect v1 for Xbox 360 Model 1473

• Environments: Windows 7 (64-bit) + Matlab R2013a (64-bit) + Kinect for Windows SDK v1.6

Note that Matlab, SDK 1.6 can be downloaded here and here.

Kinect v1 for Windows Model 1517

• Environments: Windows 7 (64-bit) + Matlab R2013a (64-bit) + Kinect for Windows SDK v1.8

Note that Matlab, SDK 1.8 can be downloaded here and here.
