Python Reference for Microsoft Azure Kinect Sensor SDK #500

Closed MrudulaSatya closed 5 years ago

MrudulaSatya commented 5 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Most Machine learning and AI solutions are coded in Python as it has a collection of numerous libraries to do data pre-processing and apply machine learning algorithms. If the Microsoft Azure Kinect Sensor SDK provides a reference in Python, it will be very handy to use Azure Kinect DK in our AI applications.

Describe the solution you'd like

A Python Reference that provides functions to access the sensors and cameras on Kinect DK.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Right now we have to use C/C++ to obtain the input from Kinect DK and send that obtained input to the python code via sockets/pipelines for use. This creates a latency issue unacceptable for realtime applications.

We have discussed Python in the past as another language extension, but so far we have not had time. Check out https://feedback.azure.com/forums/920053 for how we are tracking larger feature requests, we are planning to use that info to help steer our team toward the next features to invest in.

If anyone comes across this issue, I've started work on a Python binding for the SDK here:

https://github.com/brendandburns/py-k4a

It can currently capture images successfully.

Sorry for commenting in a closed issue.

I have also develop a repository with Python programs for the Azure Kinect DK SDK. I have examples for color image, depth , IMU and more: https://github.com/ibaiGorordo/pyKinectAzure

Example of smoothed depth image using OpenCV in Python:

Here's another Python wrapper that I have been working on for the past months. It can get all the image sources, point cloud, and body tracking. https://github.com/jrterven/KinZ-Python

Amazing! Thanks for your work on this. Do you know what release this might find its way into?

hello everyone, I am working on 3d photography by using Azure kinect camera. I have a problem with Intrinsic and Extrinsic parameters estimation in python. I suppose that I need python calibration code, Is there anybody to help me?
