How to use Kinect with OpenCV?

I want to get depth and color images from Kinect, how can I do this? Is there any tutorial or code sample?

There is the Kinect SDK versions 1.x and 2.x. It comes with C# and C++ code, I believe. This way you control the Kinect yourself, and don't have to build OpenCV with OpenNI support.

You can enable OpenNI when building OpenCV from sources, by checking the WITH_OPENNI CMake option. Then, in your code :

cv::VideoCapture capture(CV_CAP_OPENNI);
for(;;)
{
    cv::Mat depthMap;
    cv::Mat rgbImage

    capture.grab();

    capture.retrieve( depthMap, OPENNI_DEPTH_MAP );
    capture.retrieve( bgrImage, OPENNI_BGR_IMAGE );

    if( cv::waitKey( 30 ) >= 0 )
       break;
}
