Is there anyway that I can use the kinect as a webcam in Matlab?

I want to use it in StreamingFaceRecognition.m

I don't know how to use the kinect camera as a webcam so I can capture image and process it.

Kinect v2 or Kinect For Windows v1 can be used with videoinput()

Kinect For Xbox v1 cannot be used for depth sensor in any release. For color it might be possible to get it to work with some older matlab.

Can I send you the script and edit it to be used for kinect ? because I was trying for hours and didnt work with me.

I do not have a kinect, but you could post the script and we could have a look at it.

Thanks a lot, I want to use the kinect as input camera ( Like the webcam ) so I can benefit from it and from its quality,

Change

vidObj = webcam;

to

vidObj = videoinput('kinect');

change

 RGBFrame = snapshot(vidObj);

to

RGBFrame = getsnapshot(vidObj);
