Multi Azure kinect cameras synchronization using python

Question

I am working on 3d photography and need to syncronize 4 azure kinect cameras. I am not happy with cpp and working with python. Could anyone help me finding a code (same as green screen) for synchronizing in python?

Answer 1

Please refer to Synchronize multiple devices for physically connecting multiple Azure Kinect cameras.

I have written a simple Python example of configuring 2 Azure Kinect devices to be synced together where one is master and the other subordinate: k4a_sync.py. It assumes that the k4a python package has already been installed and that the devices are already physically connected with a sync wire before running the example.

Note that based on reading the system timestamps of the collected captures, the time between captures seems to be on the order of around 100-200 ms, which is unexpectedly way higher than the synchronization settings should have produced. This may be related to an open issue: https://github.com/microsoft/Azure-Kinect-Sensor-SDK/issues/1665
