# Depth Engine
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Azure Kinect Sensor SDK open source project does not include the depth engine which
|
||
|
|
converts raw sensor data in to a normalized depth map.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The depth engine is specific to the sensor in the Azure Kinect DK hardware.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The depth engine is not licensed under MIT as it contains proprietary code which is why it
|
||
|
|
can't be included in the Azure Kinect Sensor SDK project directly.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Obtaining the Depth Engine
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The depth engine is distributed as part of all Azure Kinect Sensor SDK binary releases.
|
||
|
|
If you are building the sensor SDK from source, you will need to obtain a copy from a binary
|
||
|
|
release to read data from a device.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Windows
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you have run the windows binary installer (see the Azure Kinect DK public
|
||
|
|
documentation for details), you can get a copy of the depth engine from
|
||
|
|
`%Program Files%\Azure Kinect
|
||
|
|
SDK\sdk\windows-desktop\amd64\release\bin\depthengine_<major>_<minor>.dll`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The depth engine must be in your %PATH% or located next to k4a.dll for the SDK
|
||
|
|
to decode frames from the Azure Kinect DK.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Linux
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The depth engine binary is part of the `libk4a<major>.<minor>` debian package.
|
||
|
|
If you have installed the `libk4a<major>.<minor>` debian package,
|
||
|
|
libdepthengine will be installed in your library path. If you have not (or can
|
||
|
|
not) you can extract libdepthengine from the download debian package found
|
||
|
|
[here](https://packages.microsoft.com/ubuntu/18.04/prod/pool/main/libk/).
