Ubuntu + Kinect + OpenNI + PrimeSense

Posted by on May 2, 2012 in Kinect, Tutorials, Ubuntu | 55 comments

Getting the OpenNI and PrimeSense drivers working on Ubuntu

Here’s an overview of the process to get the OpenNI and PrimeSense drivers working with the Kinect and Ubuntu. Begin by installing some dependencies:

sudo apt-get install git-core cmake freeglut3-dev pkg-config build-essential libxmu-dev libxi-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev doxygen graphviz mono-complete

Make a directory to store the build, then clone the OpenNI source from Github.

mkdir ~/kinect

cd ~/kinect

git clone https://github.com/OpenNI/OpenNI.git

Run the RedistMaker script in the Platform/Linux folder and install the output binaries

cd OpenNI/Platform/Linux/CreateRedist/

chmod +x RedistMaker

./RedistMaker

cd ../Redist/OpenNI-Bin-Dev-Linux-x64-v1.5.2.23/

sudo ./install.sh

Next, clone the Avin2 SensorKinect source from Github.

cd ~/kinect/

git clone git://github.com/avin2/SensorKinect.git

Run the RedistMaker script in the Platform/Linux folder and install the output binaries.

cd SensorKinect/Platform/Linux/CreateRedist/

chmod +x RedistMaker

./RedistMaker

cd ../Redist/Sensor-Bin-Linux-x64-v5.1.0.25/

chmod +x install.sh

sudo ./install.sh

Then download the OpenNI Compliant Middleware Binaries to ~/kinect
Select these options from the dropdown menus:
Unstable
PrimeSense NITE Unstable Build for Ubuntu 10.10 x64 v 1.5.2.21

Extract the contents of the archive and switch to the Data directory contained within.

cd ~/kinect

tar -xvjpf nite-bin-linux-x64-v1.5.2.21.tar.bz2

cd NITE-Bin-Dev-Linux-x64-v1.5.2.21/Data

Now modify the license in the files: Sample-Scene.xml, Sample-Tracking.xml, and Sample-User.xml. Change

<License vendor=”PrimeSense” key=””/>

to:

<License vendor=”PrimeSense” key=”0KOIk2JeIBYClPWVnMoRKn5cdY4=”/>

Change back to the NITE directory and run the install script.

cd ..

sudo ./install.sh

That’s it! If you followed steps through to here you should be able to run the sample applications.  The OpenNI samples are here:

~/kinect/OpenNI/Platform/Linux/Bin/x64-Release

and the PrimeSense samples are here:

~/kinect/NITE-Bin-Dev-Linux-x64-v1.5.2.21/Samples/Bin/x64-Release

Note: if you get the error:

InitFromXml failed: Failed to set USB interface!

the solution is to remove the gspca_linect kernel module:

sudo rmmod gspca_kinect

    • Paul

      Hi Ramsri Goutham, do you have openjdk installed? I had a similar error and I fix it installing openjdk 7.

      • Ramsri Goutham

        Sorry for the late reply. No, I don’t have the openjdk installed. I shall give an update after installing it and recompiling.

        • Ramsri Goutham

          I could procced after installing openjdk-7-jdk and openjdk-7-jre. Thanks for the help

  • Alessandro

    Thanks for the guide, I’ve compiled and installed latest OpenNI and SensoKinect from git under Ubuntu 12.04 64bit, all seemed fine but can’t run any sample and can’t install NITE.

    anyone has any hint? I’ve spent half a day on it, blacklisted gspca_kinect and added this patch SensorKinect https://github.com/avin2/SensorKinect/pull/1 cause it refines udev rules but nothing to do, I’m stuck with these errors, please help.

    • dexter

      Hi brother..
      Its simple. The mistake u did was downlloading all the stable releases of OpenNI and Sensor Kinect.. I also did the same misatke .. just download the stable releases abd everything will be fine..
      And many hanks to author of this web site for this tutorial

      • I think he means unstable just fyi. you need the unstable releases

  • Mauricio

    hi michael, thankyou very much for your guide but im having some difficulty in installing OpenNi.

    when i do this step:

    • Marcus

      After “git clone https://github.com/OpenNI/OpenNI.git” go into the OpenNI Folder and do a “git checkout unstable”. After that everything should work.

      • kayakely

        I have the same problem.So I did “git checkout unstable” but the the appear again

        • FEL

          start all over again, after downloading OpenNI do “git checkout unstable” and then proceed with the instalation. That worked for me.

          Right now I have another problem, I’m working with an x86 machine and I don’t have the Sample-Scene.xml, Sample-Tracking.xml, and Sample-User.xml files as in the tutorial. when trying to run the NiSkeletonBenchmark I get the error:

          Reading config from: ‘../../Config/SamplesConfig.xml’
          Find user generator failed: Can’t create any node of the requested type!

          any idea about what’s wrong?

          • I have this same problem. anyone know the solution?

  • Tom

    Hi Michael!

    Thank you for the guide. I’m though having the same issue Mauricio has described above and I’m unable to install the SensorKinect properly. Is there a solution for this?

  • Akhilesh

    Hi i am not able to buld anything, i sucessfully did following:

    cd OpenNI/Platform/Linux/CreateRedist/

    chmod +x RedistMaker

    ./RedistMaker

    however it prompts me that Building failed ! any idead folks , this is gonna be my project and so far i cant even compile sample examples.

  • Alexander

    Hi Michael

    Thank you for your guide it is very detailed.
    But, In my PC the windows of all samples show something for a short time in some samples without errors (for example Sample-Players) close almost immediately after a calling. And the sensor remain with the red light. I am using Openni verion 1.5.2

    Somebody know what could be the problem? and how to fix it? please

    Thanks!

    Alexander

    Hello

    It’s me again. I try to be more clear with my problem.

    I was installing again Openni in a laptop with a Nvidia GeForce 7150M / nForce 630M and Ubuntu 12.04 64.

    The installation is ok. but..

    As I see exist a problem of core dump when I try to execute wherever example of Nite. Because the program always crashes .

    By using the gdb aplication (and writing run) in this way:
    gdb ./Sample-Players

    (gdb) run

    I obtain this result:

    I guess that is a driver problem.

    Anybody knows how to fix this problem, please?

    Thanks

    Alexander

  • Are there drivers for Asus Xtion that would work with this?

  • Subhasis

    Hi,
    I get an error while executing ./RedistMaker as shown below… Any help ? I already performed “git checkout unstable” and it says its already on unstable.

    ../../../../Source/XnDDK/XnFrameBufferManager.h:30:22: fatal error: XnEventT.h: No such file or directory
    compilation terminated.

  • I also had the same problem with the sensor module it was giving compilation error.
    So i checked out the master branch from git.Ran the compilation again and it ran.

    git checkout master
    ./RedistMaker

    • Ima

      aditya, ty, and good tutorial, I wish there was more fedora support on this too!

  • Andres

    MIchael, thank you, it was very usefull

  • rick

    cd ../Redist/OpenNI-Bin-Dev-Linux-x64-v1.5.2.23/

    I had 1.5.4.0. it is located in CreateRedist/Final. it is in a .bz2 as well.

    Thanks a lot

  • hello. thanks for the guide. When you say:
    cd ../Redist/OpenNI-Bin-Dev-Linux-x64-v1.5.2.23/

    what folder is that? I can’t find it anywhere…

    • I’ve having the same problem. I hope you find an answer soon.

    • dhightower

      That likely means there was an error when you ran sudo ./RedistMaker in the previous step. Try running the command again and this time take note of the error and if you still need help, post the error.

  • rick

    “””Run the RedistMaker script in the Platform/Linux folder and install the output binaries

    cd OpenNI/Platform/Linux/CreateRedist/

    chmod +x RedistMaker

    ./RedistMaker

    cd ../Redist/OpenNI-Bin-Dev-Linux-x64-v1.5.2.23/ “”
    <<——- When I got to this point, the cli argued there was no such directory. I can't find it now. It was in an OpenNI/Platform/Linux folder. It's named "create' or something. It's in that OpenNI/ folder somewhere in a .gz zip file. Extract that and continue with instructions.

    I have it working, I just don't know how to get tracking to work, or anything else except the cameras.
    I like Kinect. It makes me feel stupid.

    • Could you be a bit more clear on where you found the file? I can help you with getting tracking working if you can help me get the Sensor set up correctly! 😀

    • Do you remember which folder was after OpenNI where you found the gz zip file?

  • rick

    I know that it was after I did this:
    “cd OpenNI/Platform/Linux/CreateRedist/
    chmod +x RedistMaker
    ./RedistMaker”
    I then tried the command “cd ../Redist/OpenNI-Bin-Dev-Linux-x64-v1.5.2.23/”
    The file was not there. Actually I used a different version of OpenNI. OpenNI-Bin-Dev-Linux-x86-v1.5.4.0..
    You can’t sudo ./install.sh because it’s in a .gz file in another folder. Enter command “./RedistMaker”.You will either search for .gz files or manually look in all folders for “OpenNI-Bin-Dev-Linux-x86-v1.5.4.0.gz”. Unzip, enter command “sudo install.sh”. continue instructions.

    I don’t know why I can’t find the folder. After I did ./RedistMaker, it was in something like “build”, then a subfolder.
    Sorry I can’t be of more help. This stuff is hard for me to get my head around.
    I was able to get silhouettes and regular camera working. I had head tracking going in a terminal, but had no idea what to do with it at that point. Still figuring things out. Problem is with this stuff is nothing is standard as there really aren’t any yet. Most of the instructions are outdated. You have use the exact builds of the programs and libraries they use, or it won’t work in a lot of cases. GNU/Linux is in flux as well, so instructions for Ubuntu 10.10 won’t work for 12.04.

  • rick

    CreateRedist/Final. That was the folder the .gz is in. In the OpenNi folder somewhere after you run ./RedistMaker.

  • Mumm

    It seems like copy-pasting the string

    from this webpage into SampleConfig.xml results in a very subtle XML parsing error, because of quotation marks ”…” being used instead of the “…”.

    Hi,

    A really nice step by step tutorial, but i found some problem when i want to install the OpenNI, i found this error:

    /bin/sh: 1: javac: not found

    Then i go to the https://github.com/OpenNI/OpenNI.git there and check for the openNI. However in the website, they did mention that the source ‘platform’ were lost by mistake.

    What i can do now?

  • Hi thanks for the tutorial, I’m having some problems running openni2 on ubuntu 12.10 using gcc 4.7, if you can help me it would be very much appreciated!

    The link provided in OpenNI Compliant Middleware Binaries is not working. Where can I find the NITE? Plus, should I expected to remove all the previous installation to proceed with this instruction?

    in CreateRedisMaker while I try to run RedistMaker it does not create any Redist folder. in OpneNI it works but in SensorKinect it does not work. can anybody help me about this.

    • Same here, trying to debug :-/

        Hi Sukhraj,

        I was trying to install the KinectSensor, but I also got the same error that the Redist folder was not created, did you solve this problem?

        I would be very appreciate if you could help!

        Thanks a lot,

    I got errors during compile too, so I found this solution
    https://github.com/avin2/SensorKinect/pull/5
    just add a dummy function in the CPP and H file and it’ll be done.
