Kinect V2 adapters not recognized

Hi all,

I'm working on physiotherapy experiments with the Kinect V2, and trying to connect it to work with Matlab.

I've installed the Image Acquisition Toolbox Support Package for Kinect For Windows Sensor through the "Get Hardware Support Packages" section of the "Add-Ons" menu, but when checked, matlab shows no adapters found:

>> imaqhwinfo
Warning: No Image Acquisition adaptors found. To install Hardware Support Packages, use Add-Ons Explorer.

          ToolboxName: 'Image Acquisition Toolbox'
       ToolboxVersion: '5.4 (R2018a)'
       
>> imaqhwinfo('kinect',1)
Error using imaqhwinfo (line 131)
To use the 'kinect' adaptor, install the Kinect support package via Add-Ons Explorer.

Any idea what might be causing this, or how to fix it?

System info:

Windows 8.1

Matlab 2018a

Kinect V2 (connected through USB3.0)

Hi Noa Bar,

I understand that you are encountering an error while attempting to install the "Kinect Support Package."

When you run "imaqhwinfo", you are receiving a warning indicating that "No Image Acquisition adapters found." This suggests that the "Image Acquisition Toolbox" is not installed, which is a prerequisite for the "Image Acquisition Toolbox Support Package for Kinect For Windows Sensor" add-on. Additionally, the "Image Processing Toolbox" is also required.

To resolve this issue, you should first install the "Image Acquisition Toolbox" and try to run the "Kinect Support Package."

For more information you can refer below documentation:

Hope it helps!
