Hello people,

is it possible to use a Kinect for land mapping and improve quality of autolanding?

All advice are welcome

hi everyone, would the pixhawk have enough bandwith/power to process the Kinect - data?

No. 800Mbps is USB2 speed and the Kinect needs almost all of that. Even if we could connect at that speed we don't have the power to do anything with all the information. Thats why Kinect SLAM systems are running on PicoITX or MiniITX systems.

The ardupilot doesnt have the bandwidth to process kinect data so you would have to introduce another board to get that done.
