maybe somebody with experience in coding c++ will have a look at it and improve it?

it's currently NOT possible to open 2 pix_video with the kinect plugin. you can choose between rgb or depth image.

have a look at provided videoKINECT-help.pd

hi!

it would not be too difficult to make a separate pix_kinect object that does not depend on pix_video, but i think it would be good if pix_video is working with the pluginsystem not only on linux and to keep the videoKINECT idea.

beside: i found a nice smoothing trick for the depth image: http://www.morethantechnical.com/2011/03/05/neat-opencv-smoothing-trick-when... a pix_opencv_inpaint object therefore would be good.

in vvvv there is an object Kinect Multi Skeleton that outputs the depth image AND the skeleton data based on openNI. maybe a similar object for gem with the openNI framework would be more useful than the libfreenect approach. (because you can't connect 2 times to the kinect if you want sceleton and depth image) i'll have a look on that...

Yeah, if we click [driver kinect( on Mac OS X, we get "no method for driver". It might be a similar situation on Windows. So a pix_kinect object would be a fast way to get started on non-GNU/Linux.

I tried PD-extended's 20110101 to the latest version (sporadically, not each one :) and the only cameras they would take on my mac was the built in isight and the logitech 9000 which is incredibly well supported. So there is the conclusion.

It turns out that on mac there is no driver support for cameras in pix_video, it is all just going through quicktime.

that's mainly a problem with the current build-system of Gem. on OSX it still defaults to using [pix_videoDarwin] rather than the new plugin based approach. you _should_ be able to force using plugins with something like $ ./configure --with-video=no

apart from the fact that the "no" is quite weird (as you do want video, you just don't want pix_videoDarwin), i think i also remember that this for some reasons does not work (e.g. it is ignored), but i might be mistaken here as well.

the configure definitely needs some rework to remove the forcing of some defaults.

...

all in all, this is a minor issue compared to getting videoKINEXT running. thanks matthias.

Yes, it would be nice to have [pix_video] work with the Kinect, but right now the plugins stuff is not fully done yet, and people want to work with the Kinect now. I tried to get stuff building using the Gem build system, but I couldn't get it going, so I just made a Makefile which seems to work. For one, it seems to depend on automake-1.11, which is not always easily available. I see no reason why the Gem plugins can work for automake-1.9 or even earlier, its not a complicated build.

On the Mac and Windows the proper way to do this is to make Quicktime components or DirectShow filters so any application can use the device. Writing specific app level code for every random video device is a waste of time.

How do I use the videoKINECT plugin on Mac OS X? The [driver( message is not implemented on Mac OS X.

the driver message _is_ implemented on all platforms. that's the entire idea of the plugin architecture, to get away from platform constraints.

the _only_ problem right now is the autobuild process, that currently disables the plugin system on OSX, and instead uses the old fixed system (hence no "driver" message).

so the prboelm is a trivial one (though it has to be solved). if you want you could have a try (i currently do not have any spare time)

Can you clarify that a little?

What would the relationship between the pix_freenect folder and the libusb become? What would the sequence of operations be?

We might need to build a libusb from source and include the patches, since the patches seem to be required to get the camera stuff working.

Actually, now that I look at it, I think you can just build the latest libusb from git, and then there is no need to patch it. I just did that and updated my binary build. Try it and report back:

We might need to build a libusb from source and include the patches, since the patches seem to be required to get the camera stuff working.

Most C compilers don't stop trying, when they get "No such file" errors. So they continue processing all the stuff that depends on having read the other files that were not found. It's dumb, but it's like that.

The main upside of it, is that it can tell you several "No such file" errors at once, so that you have the occasion to fix them at once.

well, currently, configure will force the use of pix_filmDarwin (when compiling for OSX), which is something we don't want. i think it should be enough, if it wouldn't define the "GEM_VIDEOBACKEND" in Base/config.h at all, which would make Gem automatically fall back to the generic plugin framework.

however, my point was more, that i would like to kindly ask you to not run around and tell people that things are not working which in fact are working, for the same reason i do not tell people to not use Pd- extended because it fails to compile on w32 (which is something i figure when looking at the build logs i get each day, not by looking at a download page)

I'll be more specific: On Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6, pix_film, pix_movie, and pix_video are not working for the Pd-extended 0.43 nightly builds and I have no idea how to make them work.

what does "not working" mean (apart from 'not working')?

also if they don't work at all, this should be fixed rather than spending time on [pix_kinect]

the problem with libusb will probably be the same with videoKINECT on osx. so the work is not for nothing :-)

in the moment the pix_freenect is a little bit better (less bugs i think) than the videoKINECT but i will try to improve videoKINECT after the weekend.

anyhow, Gem's configure now takes arguments "--with-video=plugins" and "--with-film=plugins" that force the use of the plugin frameworks.

Hi Matthias,

hello sofy!

this looks like something with the conversion from rgb to rgba gone wrong in my code. i had to try quiet a few things when developing under linux to get the image from libfreenect to gem in the right way. but there should be no difference from linux to osx...

is the screenshot from the depth sensor or the "webcam" image? is there a problem with both output channels?

did you try to switch the libfreenect-modes in the properties dialog? normally they should be set to zero but try other modes as well.

it's not working in osx for me in the moment - libfreenect seems to find no kinect - so debugging is a little bit difficult for me but i will try to get it running on my mac. (i'm on osx 10.6.7)

PS: please do report in the Gem bug-tracker. i don't really feel like searching mails with the subject "videoKINECT" on showstopper bugs with OSX image acquisition.

I just tried the nightly from 4/1/11 and it looks like the problem is pix_texture. The movie was playing judging by the change in CPU load. Also, I could load one image with pix_image, but after that texturing went awry.

ok, so is it possible that the problem only appears on i386?

ah, finally i have been able to reproduce the problem. it turned out that i had a Gem.pd_linux in ~/Library/Pd/Gem, which was always loaded before the one that comes with Pd-extended, and which was working. the version in Pd-extended 2011/04/01 indeed does NOT work. (however, i'm hesitant to invest more time in debugging a package with such a release date)

otoh, if [pix_info] do report "no image" (that is: dimensions are -1), then the problem is not with [pix_texture] but really with the image acquisition (not inserting the decoded frame into the Gem chain)

and indeed there is no image reported by [pix_info], so the problem is not with [pix_texture]

on second thought i remember the course of the problem being a complete rewrite of GemState. i'd rather not find the remaining problems in [pix_filmDarwin] but suggest to switch to the plugin-based system now, and fix problems there.

It is just a matter of adding those to the configure statement in package/Makefile?

yes.

I don't know what needs doing there so I'd appreciate it if you adding the ./configure flags that are needed.

speaking of which, i'd really like to move Gem into externals/ for the pdx builds.

what do i need to do for that?

hey all,

i ported the videoKINECT plugin to a "standalone" Gem object pix_freenect. i don't know if it is working under OSX now... its fine in linux

i don't have 2 kinects but it should work with 2 kinects as well. but still you can just choose between rgb OR depth output and not use both outputs from one device...

Hi Matthias, if you know how to make a pix_kinect object please do! It turns out that on mac there is no driver support for cameras in pix_video, it is all just going through quicktime.

I tried PD-extended's 20110101 to the latest version (sporadically, not each one :) and the only cameras they would take on my mac was the built in isight and the logitech 9000 which is incredibly well supported. So there is the conclusion.

    it would not be too difficult to make a separate pix_kinect
    object that does not depend on pix_video,
    but i think it would be good if pix_video is working with the
    pluginsystem not only on linux and to keep the videoKINECT
    idea.

    beside:
    i found a nice smoothing trick for the depth image:
    http://www.morethantechnical.com/2011/03/05/neat-opencv-smoothing-trick-when-kineacking-kinect-hacking-w-code/
    a pix_opencv_inpaint object therefore would be good.

    in vvvv there is an object Kinect Multi Skeleton that outputs
    the depth image AND the skeleton data based on openNI.
    maybe a similar object for gem with the openNI framework would
    be more useful than the libfreenect approach. (because you
    can't connect 2 times to the kinect if you want sceleton and
    depth image)
    i'll have a look on that...

hi!

it's compiling against gem 0.92.3 and Pd-extended now but i have this problem:

load_object: Symbol "pix_freenect_setup" not found

it's working fine under linux so i don't really know where the problem is... maybe you find it or you don't have the same problem...?

Thanks Matthias! I'm currently trying to build it for Mac OS X now. Would it be possible to make it build against the version of Gem that's included in Pd-extended 0.42.5? That's Gem 0.92.3. Right now, it depends on the GemConfig.h header, which seems to be recently added.

Attached is my version of your Makefile which includes paths for using libs from Fink.
