Live 3D Point Cloud Stitching Demo Video for Kinect with MATLAB

Today I'll share the Kinect Live stitching demo Program as below.

By using GUI Program which I introduced in last post, we can acquire RGB stream, Depth stream and real-time 3D reconstructed stream.

Also, by moving the device, we can build the real-time 3D reconstruction stream, as following demo. In other words, 3D point cloud stitching process for Kinect data can be done in real-time.
Note that, 3D stitching time(Number of frames) is controllable.

Thanks for reading.
Will come back with more interesting topic next time:)

FYI, you can get above GUI program from below.

Building Handy GUI program for Kinect with MATLAB

With simple GUI building skills, you can easily make handy program with MATLAB(R2015b). You can do :

• Visualize streaming Color and Depth image.

• Control depth mode(Default/Near) and elevation angle.

• Simultaneously align color with depth image.

• Live 3D Reconstruction with Point cloud stitching

The highlight thing in this demo is live 3D reconstruction. User can easily combine multiple point clouds to reconstruct a 3D scene using ICP(Iterative Closest Point) algorithm. It can be used in various application like develop 3D models of objects or build 3D world maps for SLAM(Simultaneous Localization And Mapping).

This is all for my recent work on Kinect. Any opinions to discuss are welcome.

Thanks for reading.
