Hi,
We're trying to create a 2D image from the kinect depth image. Is there a VI which takes the kinect's depth image (640X480 cells when each cell represents the depth) and making a 2D matrix out of it (where X,Y are coordinates representing width and depth and the value is the height at the specific cell).
We're trying to create an obstacle-avoidance algorithm which differentiates between obstacles in different heights so we need to convert the depth image into a height matrix.
Thanks,

Hi Rap_Master_T,
Are you trying to develop this VI or are you asking for helping finding one that has already been completed for you? May I ask what the final application is for? Could you please post some reference material for exactly what you're trying to do.
Thanks!

Hi Bobby,
We're asking for help finding such a VI. Our goal is to map an area and then navigate through it. Our robot can overcome obstacles (in certain height) so after the mapping our robot will need to decide whether it can pass the obstacle or it has to go around it. Therefore, we need to know the height of the obstacles so we want to create a height map of the area we're mapping.
Is there such a VI?
We're attaching our code.(the relevant VI is called -"example")

Hi Rap_Master_T,
I haven't found such a VI before ( www.ni.com/code ), so you may have to create it yourself. If you can break what you're describing down into digestible chunks, you can repost each issue individually and we would be able to help you more effectively.
Regards,
