Kinect installation

3/20

1. OpenNI backend:1. Nicolas Burrus software [1]: Kinect RGBDemo v0.6.1. -> supports OpenNI/Nite

backends [2] and has the experimental infrared support with OpenNI (still buggy) -> I tried to check this work for OpenNI backend under Windows 64bit.

2. Install Sensor Kinect drivers under Windows 32 bit [3] and OpenNI/Nite modules (Win32) [2] according to the instruction [4] and verified that they work properly.

3. Use RGB-D Capture [1] to grab Kinect RGB and IR images with intensity.raw and depth.raw files. -> the software doesn’t grab IR images!! -> only RGB image, intensity.raw, depth.raw and calibration file (calibration.yml without distortion paraeters)!!

4. “calibrate-openni-intrinsics --pattern-size 0.0405 grab1 calibration.yml” -> gives “openni_calibration.yml” with Intrinsic matrix and distortion coefficients for Kinect RGB camera !!

5. “calibrate-openni-depth.exe --pattern-size 0.0405 grab1” gives partly processed figures with a message about errors.

1st attempt

The comparison of Kinect calibration results for - Libfreenect backend (under OS Linux / Ubuntu 10.10 - 32 bit) - OpenNI backend (under OS Windows 32bit)

- 23/11/2011

The same figures of Intrinsic Matrixes for Kinect RGB and

Depth Cameras

Libfreenect backend OpenNI backend

The Depth Camera Calibration for OpenNI backend is

NOT available!!!

- 23/11/2011

There is NO extrinsic mapping between Kinect Depth and RGB

cameras for OpenNI backend

Libfreenect backend OpenNI backend

The reprojection of 3D points from Kinect Depth Camera to

RGB image for OpenNI is NOT possible!!

Kinect installation

1. Libfreenect backend (Windows):1. Nicolas Burrus software [1]: Kinect RGBDemo v0.6.1. -> supports

Libfreenect backend [2] and has RGB and infrared support -> I tried to check the work under Windows 64bit.

2. Install Xbox NUI Motor drivers under Windows 32 bit [3] and OpenNI/Nite modules (Win32) [2] according to the instruction [4] and verified that they work properly.

3. Use RGB-D Capture [1] to grab Kinect RGB and IR images with intensity.raw and depth.raw files. -> the software doesn’t grab IR images!! -> only RGB image, intensity.raw, depth.raw and calibration file (calibration.yml without distortion paraeters)!!

4. “calibrate-openni-intrinsics --pattern-size 0.025 grab1 calibration.yml” -> gives “openni_calibration.yml” with Intrinsic matrix and distortion coefficients for Kinect RGB camera !!

5. “calibrate-openni-depth.exe --pattern-size 0.025 grab1” gives partly processed figures with a message about errors.

Cube_Curvatura_20110925\main_reproject.m

-> color.png (480x640 pixels)-> calibData.mat: - matrixes of intrinsic

parameters for IR camera (K_ir) and RGB camera (K_rgb)

- extrinsic mapping between ir (depth) and rgb Kinect camera (R,T)

- distortion coefficients (kc_ir, kc_rgb)

-> Points.mat (N x 6), where N – number of points with (x,y,z,R,G,B) info
