How to set the Kinect devices specific properties in matlab?

In Matlab

1. Create the videoinput object for the depth sensor. Note that a second object is created (vid2), and DeviceID 2 is used for the depth sensor. vid2 = videoinput('kinect',2,'Depth_640x480');

2. Look at the device-specific properties on the source device, which is the depth sensor on the Kinect. src = getselectedsource(vid2);

src

Display Summary for Video Source Object:

      General Settings:
        Parent = [1x1 videoinput]
        Selected = on
        SourceName = DepthSource
        Tag = 
        Type = videosource

      Device Specific Properties:
        Accelerometer = [0.0 -1.0 0.0]
        BodyPosture = Standing
        CameraElevationAngle = 4
        DepthMode = Default
        FrameRate = 30
        IREmitter = on        
        SkeletonsToTrack = [1x0 double]
        TrackingMode = off

How we want to preset device specific properties?; For example,

Reset BodyPosture = Standing to be BodyPosture = Sitting

Reset DepthMode = Default to be DepthMode = Near

(*For this condition we can reset in C programming language, but for matlab language how we want to reset it?)

Hi Lim,

Based on whether the object/person is standing or sitting, different joint coordinates are returned. You should be able to edit this value. More information here:

Try src.DepthMode = 'Near';
