Instructions

This app is used for converting Kinect Studio data file (.xef) to Matlab data file (.mat). The project is based on the following references:

• Microsoft.Kinect (You may find it by installing Microsoft Kinect SDK 2.0)

• Microsoft.Kinect.Tools (You may also find it by installing Microsoft Kinect SDK 2.0)

• MATWriter (Written by SergentMT)

Notes:

It seems that this app only works on x64 platforms in debug mode (For the latest version debug/release both work)

How-to-use:

• install Microsoft Kinect SDK 2.0
• git clone and then build the repo with Visual Studio 2017 or later, or download the binary from here.
• see demo/demo_import_data.m a demo script for importing the data into Matlab.

Run with GUI

Simply run xef2mat.exe, select the .xef file by clicking on the 'select' button. The output files will be at the same folder of the app.

Run without GUI

./xef2mat.exe --no-gui [source_file_path] [dest_folder_path]
