+Using Orbbec Astra 3D cameras {#tutorial_orbbec_astra}
+======================================================
+
+@prev_tutorial{tutorial_kinect_openni}
+@next_tutorial{tutorial_intelperc}
+
+
+### Introduction
+
+This tutorial is devoted to the Astra Series of Orbbec 3D cameras (https://orbbec3d.com/product-astra-pro/).
+That cameras have a depth sensor in addition to a common color sensor. The depth sensors can be read using
+the OpenNI interface with @ref cv::VideoCapture class. The video stream is provided through the regular camera
+interface.
+
+### Installation Instructions
+
+In order to use a depth sensor with OpenCV you should do the following steps:
+
+-#  Download the latest version of Orbbec OpenNI SDK (from here <https://orbbec3d.com/develop/>).
+    Unzip the archive, choose the build according to your operating system and follow installation
+    steps provided in the Readme file. For instance, if you use 64bit GNU/Linux run:
+    @code{.bash}
+    $ cd Linux/OpenNI-Linux-x64-2.3.0.63/
+    $ sudo ./install.sh
+    @endcode
+    When you are done with the installation, make sure to replug your device for udev rules to take
+    effect. The camera should now work as a general camera device. Note that your current user should
+    belong to group `video` to have access to the camera. Also, make sure to source `OpenNIDevEnvironment` file:
+    @code{.bash}
+    $ source OpenNIDevEnvironment
+    @endcode
+
+-#  Run the following commands to verify that OpenNI library and header files can be found. You should see
+    something similar in your terminal:
+    @code{.bash}
+    $ echo $OPENNI2_INCLUDE
+    /home/user/OpenNI_2.3.0.63/Linux/OpenNI-Linux-x64-2.3.0.63/Include
+    $ echo $OPENNI2_REDIST
+    /home/user/OpenNI_2.3.0.63/Linux/OpenNI-Linux-x64-2.3.0.63/Redist
+    @endcode
+    If the above two variables are empty, then you need to source `OpenNIDevEnvironment` again. Now you can
+    configure OpenCV with OpenNI support enabled by setting the `WITH_OPENNI2` flag in CMake.
+    You may also like to enable the `BUILD_EXAMPLES` flag to get a code sample working with your Astra camera.
+    Run the following commands in the directory containing OpenCV source code to enable OpenNI support:
+    @code{.bash}
+    $ mkdir build
+    $ cd build
+    $ cmake -DWITH_OPENNI2=ON ..
+    @endcode
+    If the OpenNI library is found, OpenCV will be built with OpenNI2 support. You can see the status of OpenNI2
+    support in the CMake log:
+    @code{.text}
+    --   Video I/O:
+    --     DC1394:                      YES (2.2.6)
+    --     FFMPEG:                      YES
+    --       avcodec:                   YES (58.91.100)
+    --       avformat:                  YES (58.45.100)
+    --       avutil:                    YES (56.51.100)
+    --       swscale:                   YES (5.7.100)
+    --       avresample:                NO
+    --     GStreamer:                   YES (1.18.1)
+    --     OpenNI2:                     YES (2.3.0)
+    --     v4l/v4l2:                    YES (linux/videodev2.h)
+    @endcode
+
+-#  Build OpenCV:
+    @code{.bash}
+    $ make
+    @endcode
+
+### Code
+
+To get both depth and color frames, two @ref cv::VideoCapture objects should be created:
+
+@snippetlineno samples/cpp/tutorial_code/videoio/orbbec_astra/orbbec_astra.cpp Open streams
+
+The first object will use the regular Video4Linux2 interface to access the color sensor. The second one
+is using OpenNI2 API to retrieve depth data.
+
+Before using the created VideoCapture objects you may want to setup stream parameters by setting
+objects' properties. The most important parameters are frame width, frame height and fps:
+
+@snippetlineno samples/cpp/tutorial_code/videoio/orbbec_astra/orbbec_astra.cpp Setup streams
+
+For setting and getting some property of sensor data generators use @ref cv::VideoCapture::set and
+@ref cv::VideoCapture::get methods respectively, e.g. :
+
+@snippetlineno samples/cpp/tutorial_code/videoio/orbbec_astra/orbbec_astra.cpp Get properties
+
+The following properties of cameras available through OpenNI interfaces are supported for the depth
+generator:
+
+-   @ref cv::CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH -- Frame width in pixels.
+-   @ref cv::CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT -- Frame height in pixels.
+-   @ref cv::CAP_PROP_FPS -- Frame rate in FPS.
+-   @ref cv::CAP_PROP_OPENNI_REGISTRATION -- Flag that registers the remapping depth map to image map
+    by changing the depth generator's viewpoint (if the flag is "on") or sets this view point to
+    its normal one (if the flag is "off"). The registration process’ resulting images are
+    pixel-aligned, which means that every pixel in the image is aligned to a pixel in the depth
+    image.
+-   @ref cv::CAP_PROP_OPENNI2_MIRROR -- Flag to enable or disable mirroring for this stream. Set to 0
+    to disable mirroring
+
+    Next properties are available for getting only:
+
+-   @ref cv::CAP_PROP_OPENNI_FRAME_MAX_DEPTH -- A maximum supported depth of the camera in mm.
+-   @ref cv::CAP_PROP_OPENNI_BASELINE -- Baseline value in mm.
+
+After the VideoCapture objects are set up you can start reading frames from them.
+
+@note
+    OpenCV's VideoCapture provides synchronous API, so you have to grab frames in a new thread
+    to avoid one stream blocking while another stream is being read. VideoCapture is not a
+    thread-safe class, so you need to be careful to avoid any possible deadlocks or data races.
+
+Example implementation that gets frames from each sensor in a new thread and stores them
+in a list along with their timestamps:
+
+@snippetlineno samples/cpp/tutorial_code/videoio/orbbec_astra/orbbec_astra.cpp Read streams
+
+VideoCapture can retrieve the following data:
+
+-#  data given from the depth generator:
+    -   @ref cv::CAP_OPENNI_DEPTH_MAP - depth values in mm (CV_16UC1)
+    -   @ref cv::CAP_OPENNI_POINT_CLOUD_MAP - XYZ in meters (CV_32FC3)
+    -   @ref cv::CAP_OPENNI_DISPARITY_MAP - disparity in pixels (CV_8UC1)
+    -   @ref cv::CAP_OPENNI_DISPARITY_MAP_32F - disparity in pixels (CV_32FC1)
+    -   @ref cv::CAP_OPENNI_VALID_DEPTH_MASK - mask of valid pixels (not occluded, not shaded, etc.)
+        (CV_8UC1)
+
+-#  data given from the color sensor is a regular BGR image (CV_8UC3).
+
+When new data is available a reading thread notifies the main thread. A frame is stored in the
+ordered list -- the first frame is the latest one:
+
+@snippetlineno samples/cpp/tutorial_code/videoio/orbbec_astra/orbbec_astra.cpp Show color frame
+
+Depth frames can be picked the same way from the `depthFrames` list.
+
+After that, you'll have two frames: one containing color information and another one -- depth
+information. In the sample images below you can see the color frame and the depth frame showing
+the same scene. Looking at the color frame it's hard to distinguish plant leaves from leaves painted
+on a wall, but the depth data makes it easy.
+
+![Color frame](images/astra_color.jpg)
+![Depth frame](images/astra_depth.png)
+
+The complete implementation can be found in
+[orbbec_astra.cpp](https://github.com/opencv/opencv/tree/master/samples/cpp/tutorial_code/videoio/orbbec_astra/orbbec_astra.cpp)
+in `samples/cpp/tutorial_code/videoio` directory.
