Microsoft Kinect Timelapse: saves a picture every minute

savepicture.py

'''
This script uses PyKinectV2 to capture Microsoft Kinect v2 frames,
and OpenCV (>=2) to save those as JPG images every minute.

Dependencies: PyKinectV2 (https://github.com/Kinect/PyKinect2/) and OpenCV.

Running the script
1) Make sure that you have a 32 bit version of Python. PyKinectV2 does not run on the 64 bit alternative.
   If you need to install python on Windows, consider using Anaconda.
2) Install OpenCV using conda
   $ conda install -c conda-forge opencv
3) Install PyKinectV2 from the source (see https://github.com/Kinect/PyKinect2/issues/45)
   $ git clone https://github.com/Kinect/PyKinect2.git
   $ python -m easy_install PyKinect2
