Extrinsic Calibration of Multiple Azure Kinect Cameras

Posted on 1 Comment on Extrinsic Calibration of Multiple Azure Kinect Cameras

Azure Kinect has been released for over a year now and there are a lot of applications and researches utilizing this RGBD sensor to do amazing things. The benefits of using multiple sensors are well-explained by Microsoft here. Basically, live 3D reconstructions of a much larger scene, Tele-presence (which also is a seminar course at … Continue reading Extrinsic Calibration of Multiple Azure Kinect Cameras

Install Azure Kinect SDK on Ubuntu 16.04

Posted on No Comments on Install Azure Kinect SDK on Ubuntu 16.04

Note: The current SDK version when I started this post is 1.3.0. Currently, the only supported Linux distribution for is Ubuntu 18.04 and due to reasons like some existing projects are built on Ubuntu 16.04 etc.,  it would be nice to have support on these older projects. This post documented what I did to make … Continue reading Install Azure Kinect SDK on Ubuntu 16.04

Experiments with HoloLens (1st Gen) Research Mode

Posted on 2 Comments on Experiments with HoloLens (1st Gen) Research Mode

As it is explained by Microsoft, “Research Mode is a capability of HoloLens that provides application access to the key sensors on the device.” It becomes interesting that what if we can directly get point clouds from its depth sensor? So I did several experiments with it. Visualization Basically, Microsoft let developers get access to … Continue reading Experiments with HoloLens (1st Gen) Research Mode

3D Visual SLAM & Path Planning

Posted on No Comments on 3D Visual SLAM & Path Planning

Project Goal This project focuses on a fusion of monocular vision and IMU to robustly track the position of an AR drone using LSD-SLAM (Large-Scale Direct Monocular SLAM) algorithm. The system consists of a low-cost commercial drone and a remote control unit to computationally afford the SLAM algorithms using a distributed node system based on … Continue reading 3D Visual SLAM & Path Planning

3D Reconstructions From Multiple Images Using SFM

Posted on No Comments on 3D Reconstructions From Multiple Images Using SFM

  Introduction 3D reconstruction is a process of capturing the 3D geometrical structures of objects shown in 2D images, which is to determine the 3D locations of the points on the object profiles. 3D reconstruction is the core technology of various fields, including computer animation, computer-aided geometric design, medical imaging, virtual reality(VR) and augmented reality(AR), … Continue reading 3D Reconstructions From Multiple Images Using SFM
