Can we use Kinect.MapSkeletonPointToColor() method?

Question

Hi All,

Can we use  Kinect.MapSkeletonPointToColor() method to align Skeleton & RGB images.

It is mentioned in the Skeleton Tracking fundamental videos to

• map from skeleton to depth image point and then
• depth image point to color image point

Why not a direct skeleton to color mapping is  used. Can anyone give me some clear explanation on this.

Thanks,

Bharat.

Hi Bharath,

    What you are expecting is correct ,You can use Kinect.MapSkeletonPointToColor() directly , Both te cases you will get the same result.

Hello，Gowri. I found this function, Kinect.MapSkeletonPointToColor(), in c#. But in c++,I can not find the corresponding function.so if i want to align the color image to the skeleton ,how should i do ?

Bharat, I usually refer blogs for such issues. One of the blogs I recently found is - http://ignatiuz.com/blogs/category/Kinect-Development.aspx

This is a nice blog. I access it daily. Must see.
