TODO:

• NiTE UserTracker active user(s) highlight viewer (outline NiTE defined users)
• Inverse active user highlight (a.k.a set non-user depth values to black, cut skeleton out of scene)
• Depth camera smoothing
• Depth camera upsampling / super-resolution
• Camera Calibration: outputting distortion coefficients of each camera into a .ini file
• Camera Calibration: outputting intrinsic and extrinsic camera matrix values into a .ini file (seperate program)
• Depth Camera / RGB Camera Alignment
• ...
• ...

Easy Setup:

#######################################################
git clone https://github.com/szimonisz/smartkinect.git
cd smartkinect
./install.sh
cd build
./compile.sh
./KinectFeed
#######################################################

How ./install.sh works:

complete these commands within root of cloned smartkinect repository folder

NOTE: 'make' must be executed while inside of the build directory

Installing libusb / OpenNI2 / OpenCV2

$ brew update
$ brew install libusb
$ brew tap brewsci/science
$ brew tap totakke/openni2
$ brew install openni2
$ brew install opencv@2

Copy libraries from openni2_libfreenect2_drivers into /usr/local/opt/openni2/lib/ni2/Drivers folder

$ cp -r ./openni2_libfreenect2_drivers/. /usr/local/opt/openni2/lib/ni2/Drivers

Download, unarchive, and place the NiTE2.2 library into a folder called Nite2.2

curl -LO https://bitbucket.org/kaorun55/openni-2.2/raw/2f54272802bfd24ca32f03327fbabaf85ac4a5c4/NITE%202.2%20α/NiTE-MacOSX-x64-2.2.tar.zip

tar xvf NiTE-MacOSX-x64-2.2.tar.zip
tar xvf NiTE-MacOSX-x64-2.2.tar.bz2
mv ./NiTE-MacOSX-x64-2.2 ./Nite2.2

Tell libNiTE2 how to find it's dependent dynamic library: libOpenNI2.dylib

install_name_tool -change libOpenNI2.dylib /usr/local/opt/openni2/lib/ni2/libOpenNI2.dylib ./Nite2.2/Redist/libNiTE2.dylib

Copy dependent header files from OpenNI2 to our Nite2.2 include folder

cp /usr/local/opt/openni2/include/ni2/{OniCAPI.h,OniPlatform.h,OniCTypes.h,OpenNI.h} ./Nite2.2/Include/

Create a build folder

mkdir build && cd build

Copy the NiTE2 data folder into our executable's directory

cp -r ../Nite2.2/Redist/NiTE2 ./

cmake -> make (compile the program)

cmake ..
make

Tell our executable how to find libNiTE2.dylib

install_name_tool -change libNiTE2.dylib @executable_path/../Nite2.2/Redist/libNiTE2.dylib KinectFeed

Run the program!

./Build/KinectFeed 

compile.sh is a helper script that will re-route the libNiTe2.dylib dependency path upon each new executable produced from the Makefile.

Use compile.sh rather than 'make'. The script will call make for you.

NOTE:

must run make from within the Makefile's directory

depending on how dependent software was installed originally, the absolute paths to these libraries may differ..

(CMakeLists.txt / install process could differ)
