Is it possible to use features of the kinect sdk without images captured from the kinect camera (for instance still images on the computer)?
Here is a picture with points recognized from the kinect sdk face tracker. Similar to AAM mapping.
If there is a way, can someone please supply a short code example – assuming input image path will return mapped points on that image.
Thanks
No, and there is a very simple reason.
Kinect does NOT CAPTURE AN IMAGE.
It combines:
The SDK assumes all those elements to be there, coming from the Kinect hardware.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinect explains everything the Kinext offers, in terms of hardware.
This means that even when feeding it an image (which would be hard enough) you would miss the absolutely critical depth information that is actually also used in motion capturing.
