Kinect Sdk

The J4K library is a popular open source Java library that implements a Java binding for the Microsoft's Kinect SDK. It communicates with a native Windows library, which handles the depth, color, infrared, and skeleton streams of the Kinect using the Java Native Interface (JNI).
The J4K library is compatible with all kinect devices (Kinect for Windows, Kinect for XBOX, new Kinect, or Kinect 2) and allows you to control multiple sensors of any type from a single application, as long as your system capabilities permit. For example you can control three Kinect 1 sensors, or one Kinect 1 and one Kinect 2 connected via USB 3.0 to the same computer.Furthermore, the J4K library contains several convenient Java classes that convert the packed depth frames, skeleton frames, and color frames received by a Kinect sensor into easy-to-use Java objects.
Optionally, you can use JogAmp's JOGL Java library to visualize the Kinect data as 3D textured surfaces in openGL (for more technical details you can read IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics, 2013, or watch the VIDEO DEMO). The use of JOGL library is optional, and is not required if you don't use the drawing methods provided in the J4K Java classes.
This is a screenshot of the Kinect Viewer dialog window, which is included in the J4K Java library and offers an easy way to view the current data and a simple, graphical user interface for changing the parameters of the sensor.
The screenshot below shows a 3D visualization of the Kinect depth stream. More info...

The J4K library is included in the University of Florida Digital Worlds (ufdw.jar) Java library. This library was developed by Prof. Angelos Barmpoutis, and further extended by the students and faculty who work in the SAGE program (Serious and Applied Gaming Environments) at the University of Florida Digital Worlds Institute. You can find more information about how to join our graduate and undergraduate programs at this link (www.digitalworlds.ufl.edu).

The Kinect SDK Sample Browser. This sample allows you to demonstrate that the video and infrared cameras are working properly. It also gives a very good demonstration of the body-tracking abilities of the Kinect system. The program is supplied as part of the SDK and will be copied onto your computer when you install the Kinect for Windows SDK. Azure Kinect is a cutting-edge spatial computing developer kit with sophisticated computer vision and speech models, advanced AI sensors, and a range of powerful SDKs that can be connected to Azure cognitive services. Using Azure Kinect, manufacturing, retail, healthcare, and media enterprises are leveraging spatial data and context to enhance.
