Align color and Depth/IR images in Kinect

Hi

I am trying to using Kinect as a data acquisition.. Color, Depth and IR images.

Since color image have size (1920*1080 ) while depth/IR have size (512 * 424 )with different view of field

color image have a view angle (84.1 * 53.8) while Depth/IR have a view angle (70.6 * 60)

I would like to align the color image with the corresponding depth/IR images to have same size and same field of view

could you please direct me how to do this alignment ?

Waiting for any help

Thank you

:)

 

help needed !!!

Did you mean align your signature to the middle?

If that is the case, you can go to Settings & Preferences -> Forum preference-->signature. Right click at the box, choose "insert/edit image", fill in the URL image link.

Preview and double click on the image and click "align center" button on the icon next to "select text color" the one with the letter A on it. Save and that should do it.

 

Kinect 2

I've found some comparisons of the two Kinects, but still nothing on physical dimensions:

.

Nex gen Kinect
Field of View: 70˚ horizontal by 60˚ vertical

Resolvable Depth: 0.8 m -> 4.0 m

Colour Stream: 1920 x 1080 x 16 bpp 16:9 YUY2 @ 30 fps

Depth Stream: 512 x 424 x 16 bpp, 13-bit depth

Infrared Stream: 512 x 424, 11-bit dynamic range

Registration: Colour <-> depth and active IR

Audio Capture: 4-mic array returning 48K Hz audio

Data Path: USB 3.0

Latency: ~60 ms with processing

Tilt Motor: No tilt motor



Current gen Kinect
Field of View: 57.5˚ horizontal by 43.5˚ vertical

Resolvable Depth: 0.8 m -> 4.0 m (in fact the Kinect for Windows device can detect starting at 0.4 m)

Colour Stream: 640 x 480 x 24 bpp 4:3 RGB @ 30fps640 x 480 x 16 bpp 4:3 YUV @ 15fps

Depth Stream: 320 x 240 16 bpp, 13-bit depth (in fact this is 640×480 from the current Kinect for Windows SDK)

Infrared Stream: No IR stream (in fact this is accesible from the current Kinect for Windows SDK just not simultaneously with the video stream)

Registration: Color <-> depth

Audio Capture: 4-mic array returning 48 Hz audio

Data Path: USB 2.0

Latency: ~90 ms with processing

Tilt Motor: Vertical only
