I am trying to use a kinect device in order to detect the palm within a kinect video(.oni video). I am using openNI libraries to develop this type of application.
They have published a manual of the basic features available within the openNI which can be seen here.
I have tried to implement the code which they displayed in the hand detection section, however, I don’t have any results.
Do you happen to know where can I find a tutorial for a basic hand detection application for kinect through openNI library?
I started with OpenNI User Guide and it was very useful. There is a working example called “Working with Hand Point”. If you want more powerful hand recognition you can try NITE. You can have working sample following this tutorial, it is for Linux, but most part of it will work even for Windows.
