Acquiring Image and Skeletal Data Using Kinect
Device-Specific Property – Depth Description
Sensor
[0.06 -1.00 -0.09]
represents values of x as 0.06 g, y as -1.00 g, and
z as -0.09 g.
BodyPosture
Indicates whether the tracked skeletons are
standing or sitting. Values are Standing (gives 20
point skeleton data) and Seated (gives 10 point
skeleton data, using joint indices 2 - 11). Standing
is the default.
Note that if BodyPosture is set to Seated mode,
and TrackingMode is set to Position, no position
is returned, since Position is the location of the
hip joint and the hip joint is not tracked in Seated
mode.
See the subsection “BodyPosture Joint Indices” at
the end of this example for the list of indices of the
20 skeletal joints.
CameraElevationAngle
Controls the angle of the sensor lens. This is the
camera angle relative to the ground. The value
must be an integer property with range of -27 to
27 degrees. The default value is the last set value,
since this is a sticky setting. Only set it if you want
to change the angle of the camera. This property is
shared with the color sensor also.
DepthMode
Indicates the range of depth in the depth map.
Values are Default (range of 50 to 400 cm) and
Near (range of 40 to 300 cm).
FrameRate
Frames per second for the acquisition. This property
is read only and is fixed at 30 for the depth sensor
for all formats. It reflects the actual frame rate
when running.
