Kinect Face Tracking, Positioning a Rectangle

Jun 13 2013 11:26 AM
Hey guys have used this site a good few times and find it very helpful, usually I can fix my own problems and just don't like to bug people.  However I have just began using the Kinect SDK and have managed to get the depth and color streams displaying in a VS2012 WPF program in an Image.

That was fine, now usually I have used windows forms and have had it fairly easy drawing a rectangle over the image.  With a transition to WPF I've had to learn a few things, firstly I swapped the display of the depth stream over to the background of a canvas and was hoping to use the FaceTrackFrame.FaceRect to directly position and proportion a Rectangle object over the face.  Sounds simple enough right?  Well I have created the rectangle, added it to the canvas 'canvas.Children.Add(rect2);'  now my sizing and positioning code is as so


rect2.Width = faceFrame.FaceRect.Width;
rect2.Height = faceFrame.FaceRect.Height;

Canvas.SetLeft(rect2,faceFrame.FaceRect.Left);
Canvas.SetTop(rect2, faceFrame.FaceRect.Top);



Which should really just be drawing the otherwise unseen FaceRect right?  however it seems to draw in a slightly off position, the offset isn't consistent as I move around the room when I am at the far right of the resulting depth stream the rectangle is almost correctly positioned however when I am near the center or especially the far left the rectangle is clearly in the wrong place.  Please see the image in the link to explain better.  http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2zso0tl&s=5


I really cannot see what is going on here and would be greatful for some help it has been driving me INSANE!

EDIT (fixed, kinda)

Due to the positioning of the cameras the rectangle is only true when overlayed on the colour video stream.  So my next question is how would I obtain the correct area on the depth camera stream?  That is so that I could cut a rectangle from the video and depth relating to a persons face?  I see there is a MapColorFrameToDepthFrame method for converting the whole color frame but cannot see how to use it.
