12 Using the Kinect for Windows Adaptor

Using Skeleton Viewer for Kinect Skeletal Data

If you do an acquisition with a Kinect for Windows and get skeletal data, you can view

the skeleton joints in this viewer. This example function displays one RGB image with

skeleton joint locations overlaid on the image.

Create the Kinect objects and acquire image and skeletal data, as shown in

“Acquiring Image and Skeletal Data Using Kinect” on page 12-9.

Use the skeletonViewer function to view the skeletal data.

In this code, skeleton is the joint image locations returned by the Kinect

depth sensor, and image is the RGB image corresponding to the skeleton frame.

nSkeleton is the number of skeletons.

function [] = skeletonViewer(skeleton, image, nSkeleton)

This is the order of the joints returned by the Kinect adaptor:

Hip_Center = 1;

Spine = 2;

Shoulder_Center = 3;

Head = 4;

Shoulder_Left = 5;

Elbow_Left = 6;

Wrist_Left = 7;

Hand_Left = 8;

Shoulder_Right = 9;

Elbow_Right = 10;

Wrist_Right = 11;

Hand_Right = 12;

Hip_Left = 13;

Knee_Left = 14;

Ankle_Left = 15;

Foot_Left = 16;

Hip_Right = 17;

Knee_Right = 18;

Ankle_Right = 19;

Foot_Right = 20;

Show the RGB image.

imshow(image);

Create a skeleton connection map to link the joints.
