Abstract
This paper introduces KinZ, an Azure Kinect toolkit for Python and Matlab. This toolkit encapsulates the Azure Kinect's main functionality in an easy-to-use class with high-level methods. This software is written mostly in C/C++ with a pybind interface for Python and Mex functions for Matlab. It provides access to color, depth, infrared cameras, a mapping between cameras, colored point clouds, IMU sensor data, body tracking with 32 body joints plus 32 hand keypoints. We showed that KinZ applications could run in real-time at 1080p resolution, with the benefit of a high-level language reducing the learning curve and allowing a significant decrease in development time for prototyping and research.
