How to get/output the distance a person is away from the Kinect once their body is detected?

[MaaaChu]

I'm pretty new to developing with the Kinect and I'm using the Kinect to extract data a person's movements in a room.

Firstly, I want to get the distance a person is away from the Kinect after their body has been detected using the body tracking SDK.
I'm looking to achieve something similar to the Cognitive Services example where a distance in mm is output when a person is detected.

Any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks.

My guess would be choosing a position from the body (i.e. head) and just calculate the euclidean distance to 0|0|0 because thats the position of the depth camera.

Example:
Head Position is at 2|1|1:
Distance = sqrt((2-0)²+(1-0)²+(1-0)²)

can you give me the source code please if you have.

Sorry I don't have an working example at hand, but you could check out this example on how to get all the joint positions:
https://github.com/microsoft/Azure-Kinect-Samples/blob/master/body-tracking-samples/simple_cpp_sample/main.cpp#L15

So after line 15 you would calculate the joints distance to the camera like this:
sqrt(position.v[0]*position.v[0] + position.v[1] * position.v[1] + position.v[2] + position.v[2])

For the "sqrt" function you would need to include "math.h"

Thank you.

Piggy backing on this comment, is there a way to get the distance of a segmented body that does not have body tracker active on it?
