4. Page 4 | Microsoft 4 Steps to Get Color Data Find an available Kinect sensor. Enable color data stream. Register stream ready event handler function. Start capturing data.

5. Page 5 | Microsoft 4 Steps to Get Color Data – Find an available Kinect Sensor KinectSensor object represents a Kinect sensor entity. Enumerate all Kinect sensors and find a usable one. foreach (var potentialSensor in KinectSensor.KinectSensors) { if (potentialSensor.Status == KinectStatus.Connected) { this.sensor = potentialSensor; break; }

6. Page 6 | Microsoft 4 Steps to Get Color Data – Find an available Kinect Sensor Status of Kinect sensor: Disconnected – Sensor has been plugged off USB port. Connected – Sensor is ready to use. Initializing – Sensor is being initialized. Not powered – Sensor is connected to USB port but power line is disconnected.

7. Page 7 | Microsoft 4 Steps to Get Color Data – Enable color data stream KinectSensor.ColorStream implements API functions related to color data retrieving and processing. Initialize to enable color data stream: this.sensor.ColorStream.Enable(ColorImageFormat.RgbResolution640x480Fps30);

8. Page 8 | Microsoft 4 Steps to Get Color Data – Register Stream Ready Event Handler Function Register the stream event handler function to Kinect sensor so that when a new color frame comes in, the handler function is called to retrieve and process the data. this.sensor.ColorFrameReady += this.SensorColorFrameReady;

9. Page 9 | Microsoft 4 Steps to Get Color Data – Start Kinect sensor Call KienctSensor.Start() to let Kinect sensor begin capturing the data. try { this.sensor.Start(); } catch (IOException) { this.sensor = null; }

10. Page 10 | Microsoft Retrieve color data When new incoming data frame is ready, stream data ready event is triggered. Open image frame in stream data ready event handler function. private void SensorColorFrameReady(object sender, ColorImageFrameReadyEventArgs e) { using (ColorImageFrame colorFrame = e.OpenColorImageFrame()) { if (colorFrame != null) { // Copy the pixel data from the image to a temporary array colorFrame.CopyPixelDataTo(this.colorPixels); // Do whatever you need to do with the depth data }
