A possible reason could be even though the adaptor is installed, MATLAB is not able to detect the kinect sensor. Please share your output for
imaqhwinfo('kinect')
This will list all the kinect devices being detected in MATLAB. Additionally, also check if the sensor is working outside of MATLAB. Follow the troubleshooting steps for using kinect with Image Acquisition Toolbox in the link below:
after including all of the support packages and successfully installing them, i again entered
imaqhwinfo('kinect')
which works, but then shows no devices, which there should be 2 devices... help?
(What is shown):
AdaptorDllName: 'C:\ProgramData\MATLAB\SupportPackages\R2017b\toolbox\imaq\supportpackages\kinectruntime\adaptor\win64\mwkinectimaq.dll'
AdaptorDllVersion: '5.3 (R2017b)'
AdaptorName: 'kinect'
DeviceIDs: {1×0 cell}
DeviceInfo: [1×0 struct]
What kind of Kinect are you installing? The XBox Kinect versions will not be detected in current releases of MATLAB (in older releases they were detected but were not fully functional.)
I too get the same message as Dylan. I am installing Kinect V1 and using MATLAB version R2017a. I'm guessing my version of MATLAB is too new to detect the kinect sensors?
I too get same message as Dylan. I am using Kinect v2 and matlab R2017a. Do we have to switch it back to matlab 2016 version?
