Using both OpenNI and OpenNI2 in the same project

Question

Is possible to use both in the same project? actually they have different classes.

I want to do that because OpenNI2 has the driver for Microsoft Kinect, but the library PCL (Point Cloud Libraries) doesn't work yet with this version of OpennI, so i should use the previous version in order to do use them.

However, if there is a better way to use the kinect and, at the same time, use a library capables of meshing a cloud of point, it could be very helpful

ps: I'm using Visual Studio 2010, 32bits, c++

cheers, Maurizio.

Answer 1

As far as I know Nicolas Burrus nestk library supports both, OpenNI and OpenNI2 and also has a PCL integration.

You may want to check the nestk Homepage or nestk on GitHub . Some useful example can be found in the Wiki .

Answer 2

PCL is going to have OpenNI2 grabber. It is being developed and will be merged soon.
