"MultiplicationTable" is an educational game project utilising Kinect to combine learning for school with excercising and thus making it fun for its young target audience. Right now it primarily focuses on teaching the multiplication table up to 10 * 10. The core gameplay mechanic is jumping on moving bubbles.

Kinect Video Capture #18

Open DominikHorn opened 7 years ago

DominikHorn commented 7 years ago

I've conducted some testing and it turns out that the Kinect v2 will only capture color frame data at 1920x1080@30Hz. Uncompressed, this amounts to roughly 240MB of data per second. As there is no easy way to persuade it to capture less data: Should I spend time implementing video compression or is it sufficient to use one or more captured images to implement our fancy algorithm? @sschaeffner @hoelzel

These are what low light pictures taken with kinect v2 of edges on the other side of my room look like:

Given the overall modest precision of the kinect, using image recognition should not be our main implementation issue.

One image is enough for the edge detection algorithm to work, but I think it would make sense to average the result over a time of about a second or two. So a capture of about that timespan should be enough. This is the video I mentioned: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uihBwtPIBxM
