Greetings,
I am current working on human gesture and motion research using Kinect Sensor. I will need to capture huge amount of XED files for sampling purpose. However the XED files is too big (1GB for about 60 seconds duration only) and yet I am running out of Harddisk to store future sample.
In my research I only need to extract joints coordinate (x, y and depth for all 20 joints) and reconstruct (or replay) it later for ground truth validation.
So my question is, is there any application / library available to convert XED file to text files (perhaps XML) containing sequences of joints coordinate and reconstruct / re-simulate human gesture based on the text file later?
Because I think this way will save me lots of storage required.
Thanks
As far as I know, the .xed file type can't be converted to any other file format. This is usually the case of system, configuration, temporary, or data files containing data exclusive to only one software and used for its own purposes. Also some proprietary or closed file formats cannot be converted to more common file types in order to protect the intellectual property of the developer, which is for example the case of some DRM-protected multimedia files.
However, using external Kinect application + OpenCV you can extract series of image files from XED data injected from Kinect studio. After that, you can use Virtual dub to make avi files. Hope this option can save your storage.
Yup, that's why I am seeking around from community and see if anyone has it. Else, I might need to develop one myself
