Nite2.2 not working

[pcp16]

Hi using the pypi version but cannot get Nite2 (I have Nite2.2) to work. Using the example in the README.md, it always goes through the except path:

import sys
from openni import openni2, nite2, utils

openni2.initialize()
nite2.initialize()

dev = openni2.Device.open_any()

try:
    userTracker = nite2.UserTracker(dev)
except utils.NiteError as ne:
    logger.error("Unable to start the NiTE human tracker. Check "
                 "the error messages in the console. Model data "
                 "(s.dat, h.dat...) might be inaccessible.")
    sys.exit(-1)

If using from primesense import ... instead, then I get the error reported here:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19962339/creating-a-usertracker-crashes-in-nite2-python-bindings

It is (still) the case that Nite2.2 is not supported? Do I need to downgrade? Are the two issues unrelated?

[pcp16]

Ok, got it working from the fork by hjmr: https://github.com/hjmr/openni-python

Is there any plan to merge his bits here?

Thanks @pcp16 for pointing out @hjmr changes. I've merged them in this repo, and I'll update ASAP the pip version.

hi, I still meet this problem. I download the latest master branch and put them into my python project. color_stream and depth_stream work well. But nite2.UserTracker(dev) failed, try-catching error "NiteStatus.NITE_STATUS_ERROR".
My nite version is 2.2, how to fix this?
I also noticed the message in try-except, "(s.dat, h.dat...) might be inaccessible." I find the two .dat files in .../Redist/NiTE2/. Could it be a configuration error on my part?

[hjmr]

I don't know if this will be effective but please check "DataDir" in "General" section of .../Redist/NiTE.ini which must specify the directory where the two .dat files is located. It looks like you can use a relative path there but I've never succeeded. I recommend to use an absolute path. Hope it helps.

@hjmr It seems that something else is wrong. I tried an absolute path, but, still, the same error.
My RGBD cameras are ASUS Xtion PRO LIVE and Orbbec Astra. Any ideas?

[hjmr]

@ccl-private I checked with Structure Sensor from Occipital and Intel D435 on macOS. But I don't think this problem is relating to what camera you are using. What OS did you try on?

[ccl-private]

@hjmr My os is Ubuntu 18.06.

I tried again on another computer, ubuntu18 too, got a different error.

I am sure I have libNiTE2.so file in that directory.

My NiTE2 downloaded from http://cvrlcode.ics.forth.gr/web_share/OpenNI/NITE_SDK.

Hi, @hjmr. my problem is solved at "#4".
It is because NiTE2 cannot find openni2.
