Running Kinect with Image Acquisition tool box

Hi Everyone;

I just started using Microsoft Kinect with image acquisition tool box. So using the imaqtool command, I get the GUI that allows me preview/log the data.

However, when I connect it with Microsoft Kinect, the color camera causes MATLAB to crash. the error prompt that I get is "MATLAB has encountered an internal problem and needs to be closed"

The depth camera however works fine.

Anyone knows what the issue is?

I am using MATLAB R2013b

Thanks; Ali

I was getting the same error with Matlab 2015a on kinect for xbox. I implemented the following code and got the desired output without any errors:

vid = videoinput('kinect', 1, 'RGB_640x480');
triggerconfig(vid,'manual');
set(vid,'FramesPerTrigger',1);
set(vid,'TriggerRepeat', Inf);
set(vid,'ReturnedColorSpace','rgb');
start(vid);
trigger(vid);
colorImage= getdata(vid);
stop(vid);
