R200 samples SenseManager Init Failed

[Etienne_R_]

Hi!

I just received the R200 and am trying out the samples before diving into development. I've noticed that some of the samples are failing to run. The samples are : AugmentedRealitySP, MeasurmentSP , Scene Perception and Scene Perception Simple.

When run, the command window that opens reads "* : Start" and then closes after briefly displaying "SenseManager Init Failed". When I try and debug the solution in visual studio 2015 I get the exception : 

Exception thrown at 0x75EB4598 in RF_AugmentedRealitySP_d.exe: Microsoft C++ exception: std::runtime_error at memory location 0x00835AE0.

I also get a whole bunch of unfound/unopened PDB file warnings.

Has anyone else experienced or solved this issue?

Thanks, 
Etienne

I've had similar issues with running the executable builds of those samples, as well as some of the functionality in others.

The scene perception (SP) and enhanced photography (EP) algorithms require OpenCL 1.2 to run properly. I believe this requires the proper Nvidia, AMD or Intel graphics drivers, based on your system.

I've tried the samples on two Windows 8.1 machines with Nvidia graphics cards (and the latest drivers). The desktop runs the samples fine, but the laptop does not. My assumption is that there is a bug in some graphics cards or the SDK, but I have not heard anything official.

Same here, these samples also fail for me. 

I am also somewhat disappointed with the quality of the camera, as the depth image is pretty noisy compared to a Kinect2? Do I got unreasonable expectations or maybe a defective device?

Screenshots enclosed - is this the normal quality of the camera?

Chris, which sample app did you try? Could you provide more detail info? Thanks!

Ok so I checked my system specs using Geeks3D Caps Viewer.
My CPU (i7-4770) has OpenCL 1.2 (Build 148) and my GPU ( GTX 560 Ti) has OpenCL 1.1 CUDA. 

Is all of the image processing supposed to be handled by the CPU or could me GPU be messing things up? 

Christophe, I get pretty similar results for depth images. I'll speculate that the noisiness is from the actual noisiness in the infrared pattern that's emitted and that the depth data the samples are showing is raw ( there are no filters or hole-filling being applied). Stuff like the Depth Enhance option (which is unfortunately also broken for me) in the Enhanced Photography sample might apply these techniques.

David Lu, Chris is obviously using the Camera Explorer Tool. Do you have any information regarding my original question?
