Getting started? R200 Live Stream

[Johannes_V_]

Hello RealSense Forum,

I am here because I have trouble with the first steps. Installing the SDK (R200) and the samples work.

For the next step I thought something like streaming the video (only depth for example) from the R200 to the screen (in a window). After that i wanted to take one image out and calculate and show edges or histogram etc. live...

Do you have any suggestions on what language and tools to use? I want to stay on Windows 10 and the R200. Maybe I want to go on face recognition and/or object recognition later on.

I have been messing around with C++ and VS 2010/2012 (QT for GUI) but I could not get it to work (mostly because of the GUI)

Hope you can help me with this.

Regards

W.

Have a look at this video:

It uses RealSense SDK with a F200 (R200 should work as well), and OpenCV to display the images. I suggest you to use C++ for an application like the one you are describing.
