  NameDescription
Public Extension MethodHasMethod
Checks whether an object implements a method with the given name.
(Defined by ExtensionMethods.)
Public Extension MethodIsEqual
Compares two objects for equality, performing an elementwise comparison if the elements are vectors or matrices.
(Defined by Matrix.)
Public Extension MethodTo(Type)Overloaded.
Converts an object into another type, irrespective of whether the conversion can be done at compile time or not. This can be used to convert generic types to numeric types during runtime.

Remarks

The video source captures depth data from Microsoft Kinect depth sensor, which is aimed originally as a gaming device for XBox 360 platform.

Note Note
Prior to using the class, make sure you've installed Kinect's drivers as described on Open Kinect project's page.

Note Note
In order to run correctly the class requires freenect.dll library to be put into solution's output folder. This can be found within the AForge.NET framework's distribution in Externals folder.

Sample usage:

Copy
// create video source
KinectDepthCamera videoSource = new KinectDepthCamera( 0 );
// set NewFrame event handler
videoSource.NewFrame += new NewFrameEventHandler( video_NewFrame );
// start the video source
videoSource.Start( );
// ...

private void video_NewFrame( object sender, NewFrameEventArgs eventArgs )
{
    // get new frame
    Bitmap bitmap = eventArgs.Frame;
    // process the frame
}
