Kinect Depth Image for tracking moving object
.JPG "PKumars"){kind=small}
Dear All, I'm trying to track a moving object using only depth image of Kinect sensor. I'm using ROS Indigo in Ubuntu 14.04 and I'm subscribing /camera/depth/image. if i'm not wrong then is it possible to use background subtraction method for this purpose?
it will be really helpful if anyone can provide some source code as an example.
thank you all
Hi, I am a student and I also need to to the same process. I found something here. But I havnt implemneted yet. I am trying to subscribe /camerfa/depth/points. Please share your update if you find any solution.
hello, I was not trying to down-sample point cloud data. i was trying to detect and track a moving object using only depth image. point cloud data and other things are not considered in this case. I hope you understand the main reason for this question. I stopped this method and tried another method
Can you please share me which method you tried.I was also trying to detect any moving object. Only detection of something moving.Tacking is optional. I thought by comparing to consecutive frame i can detect if there is any object moving. But I may not in the right track. But my problem is the same.
I used color image to detect the object according to color and then used point cloud to get 3D position of that object. you can also use depth image to get 3D position but for that you need camera parameters.
Hey did you find some example code?
Yes I did find. But Currently I'm working in a commercial project.
