Now we are done with complete environment set-up and can program OpenCV using libfreenect. To write your own code for OpenCV, add the libfreenect.h header to your code.The author is a FOSS advocate and his areas of interest include Kinect, Linux, Arduino and Image Processing using OpenCV. This article is based on his articles published earlier in EFY’s Linux For You (now Open Source For You) magazine.
