Haskell interface to the Kinect
The following instructions assume you are installing in a Linux environment (specifically, Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit). It also assumes that you already have Haskell/GHC installed.
Dependencies
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cmake
sudo apt-get install git-core
sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev
sudo apt-get install freeglut3-dev
sudo apt-get install libxmu-dev
sudo apt-get install libxi-dev
sudo apt-get install libcv-dev
sudo apt-get install libhighgui-dev
Installing libfreenect
To install the libfreenect library, first checkout the latest version of the source code from their github repository:
git clone https://github.com/OpenKinect/libfreenect.git
Next, move into the source folder and build the library using cmake.
cd libfreenect
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
Install it:
sudo make install
Lastly, ensure you never have to run libfreenect code as an administrator by copying the included udev rules:
cd ..
sudo cp platform/linux/udev/51-kinect.rules /etc/udev/rules.d
Installing this library
First check out the code:
git clone [email protected]:kevincon/freenect.git
Next, move into the folder and install using cabal:
cd freenect
cabal install freenect.cabal
Installing the examples
In the freenect source folder:
cd examples
cabal install examples.cabal
If you encounter errors, you may need to install the glut and juicypixels hackage packages:
cabal update
cabal install glut
cabal install juicypixels
You can also run these examples directly. First navigate to the src directory:
cd src
To run the RGB.hs program, which grabs an RGB video frame from the Kinect and saves it as a file called "output.bmp" in the same directory, run:
runhaskell RGB.hs
To run the GlutRGB.hs program, which displays the real-time RGB video stream from the Kinect in a window, run:
runhaskell GlutRGB.hs
TODO
- Couple parts in the Haskell FFI do some mallocation, must add the necessary free()-equivalent calls.
