Question: Good Single Board Computer for Kinect 2

[k15a]

Hey,

Does anyone has some experience or recommendation which single board computers work best with the Kinect 2?

I haven't tested any option, but I share an information that may be useful. Intel is releasing a board that has USB3.0 which is needed for Kinect2: http://click.intel.com/intelr-realsensetm-robotic-development-kit.html (maybe it is the UP board ?)

Other people here used Intel NUC http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/nuc/overview.html

You can also have a look at Nvidias mobile computing platforms Jetson TK1 or TX1

Quote from https://www.hackster.io/RONDAGDAG/posture-recognition-using-kinect-azure-iot-ml-and-webvr-e9c4f7 : "I got the 32-bit version so it would only work with original Kinect, they also sell 64-bit version of Latte Panda that might work with Kinect 2."

Looks very interesting as a board. Have you tested it with libfreenect2 ? I don't know whether the 2GB is sufficient.

Me personally not, but there are remarks on the forum (e.g. http://www.lattepanda.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=848&p=3652&hilit=kinect#p3652) that it works, although very slowly. Which is to be expected, given the low specs of the board with respect to the recommended configuration by Microsoft (https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/kinect/hardware-setup).

So I guess if performance is critical in your application you need to go with something more powerful, i.e. something like https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/advantech-corp/MIO-5290U-S6A1E/MIO-5290U-S6A1E-ND/5272444

I've used a lattepanda with the v2 MS SDK and I was pretty surprised to see it work OK even with KinectFusion. Nothing great, 10-20 fps at low(ish) resolutions, but still, I was fairly impressed. I didn't try it with libfreenect2 though, sorry, but I would expect it to work fine.
