Data Streams Returned by the Kinect
12-5
Format Description
RawBayer_1280x960 Raw Bayer format. MONO8 frame type
with resolution of 1280 x 960, frame rate
of 12 frames per second, which is the
maximum allowed.
This format returns the raw Bayer pattern,
so you can use your own algorithm to
reconstruct the color image.
RawBayer_640x480 Raw Bayer format. MONO8 frame type
with resolution of 640 x 480, frame rate
of 30 frames per second, which is the
maximum allowed.
This format returns the raw Bayer pattern,
so you can use your own algorithm to
reconstruct the color image.
Depth Stream
The depth stream returns person segmentation data using the Kinect depth sensor.
The depth map is distance in millimeters from the camera plane. For Skeletal Tracking
only two people can be tracked at a given time, although six people can be segmented
at a time. This means it can provide full tracking on two skeletons, and partial position
tracking on up to four more. The tracking ranges are a default range of 50 cm to 400 cm
and a near range of 40 cm to 300 cm.
The depth stream supports the following formats.
Format Description
Depth_640x480 Resolution of 640 x 480, frame rate of 30
frames per second
Depth_320x240 Resolution of 320 x 240, frame rate of 30
frames per second
Depth_80x60 Resolution of 80 x 60, frame rate of 30
frames per second
