Using Azure Kinect SDK

Dependencies

The following dependencies are needed for the Azure Kinect SDK to run.

Cross Platform Dependencies

The Azure Kinect SDK uses a closed source depth engine to interpret depth frames coming from the depth camera. This depth engine must be in your OS's loader's path. The depth engine is a shared object and can be found with any version of the shipping SDK. If you are a developer, you will need to copy this depth engine from where the SDK is installed to a location where your loader can find it.

Windows Dependencies

No dependencies needed. The Azure Kinect SDK is self contained on Windows and contains all needed dependencies.

Linux Dependencies

  • OpenSSL

  • LibUSB

  • OpenGL

Device Setup

Windows Device Setup

On Windows, once attached, the device should automatically enumerate and load all drivers.

Linux Device Setup

On Linux, once attached, the device should automatically enumerate and load all drivers. However, in order to use the Azure Kinect SDK with the device and without being root, you will need to setup udev rules. We have these rules checked into this repo under scripts/99-k4a.rules. To do so:

  • Copy scripts/99-k4a.rules into /etc/udev/rules.d/.
  • Detach and reattach Azure Kinect devices if attached during this process.

Once complete, the Azure Kinect camera is available without being root.
