A cross-platform (Linux and Windows) user-mode SDK in C++ for reading data from the Azure Kinect depth and RGB camera device. It provides access to depth and color streams, synchronized depth-RGB capture, motion sensor data, and device calibration.
Use cases
- stream depth and RGB video from an Azure Kinect camera
- access gyroscope and accelerometer data from the Kinect IMU
- synchronize multiple Kinect devices with delay offsets
- read camera calibration data for 3D reconstruction
- capture depth frames for computer vision research
- record synchronized color and depth footage
When to choose
- you have an Azure Kinect DK device and need low-level sensor access on Linux or Windows
- you need synchronized depth-RGB streaming with configurable delays
- you want device calibration and IMU data for robotics or 3D vision work
When to avoid
- you don't own an Azure Kinect device
- you need body tracking (that requires the separate Body Tracking SDK)
- you need a maintained SDK for new hardware - the Azure Kinect DK has been discontinued
