So is the main issue with the infrared sensors on teh kinect? It seems like those sensors which throw out those little dots all over everything are not high enough resolution. the noise in the result makes it look like its not getting enough depth data. i wonder if or when the sensors can be upgraded to allow for a finer resolution. similar to the way normal cameras work. is it hard to get multiple kinects to work together?
okreylos, i could see in one video by another author that the kinect can "recognize" mirrors, so i wonder if it could help you on this or another experience.
I wonder if you could get the measurement of that box, for instance, get the dimensions, like height, thickness and depth of the box, using that camera. Would this be possible?
@DrKaito10 My development branch has a new calibration method (intrinsic and extrinsic), but it's still semi-manual. You have to manually fit homographies to a sequence of images of a semi-clear rectangular grid in the 2D depth and color images. This is because the depth image is so fuzzy that automatic grid detection methods, at least the ones I've tried, don't work well enough. But the process is quick, and the results are very good.
What you are doing here is amazing to me (from a film technology standpoint). If you had 3, you could theoretically shoot a scene in a room, and operate the camera without getting in the way of your actors, no?
The Kinect is a simplified toy version of this: /watch?v=DiY45jALWjE&feature=channel_video_title Higher Quality camera won't fix the Noise problem, since the Kinect uses a IR dot projector.. you can expect the 3D mesh to be extremely noisy. Maybe if you mod a projector to make a custom IR projector with higher resolution and perhaps different patterns... Humm.. Maybe just maybe...
The problem with multiple Kinects is that you must have multiple USB Controllers. Does your computer have this configuration or did you find a way around it? I'd be very keen to hear how you did this!
@demonicowl Most desktop PCs have two USB busses to the outside; typically one to the front panel, and one to the back panel. That's what I'm using. Alternatively, you can buy additional PCI/PCIe USB cards, OR you can buy a USB 3 card and hope that the drivers work. A single USB 3 bus can theoretically support around 15 Kinects.
I know how you could do this without interference between the kinects. you can see the infrared projection field through a digital camera. just adjust both kinects so that the projections don't overlap each other and it should work!
@DerUnbekannte Yes, it's possible. There isn't anything special about the built-in color camera; the software already has to align the two images (color+depth) explicitly, and aligning an external (higher-resolution) color camera wouldn't be any different.
@bengui122 So you started with a flawed premise (who said anything about xbox?) and jumped to a counter-factual conclusion (you're seeing it here, and I'm not faking it, ergo it must be possible). In other words, stating that you work for Microsoft was redundant.
Sorry, I kid. No offense. This was the perfect setup. :)
@mathewcohen1 It's theoretically possible, but requires a level of fine control over the devices that I don't think is supported by the USB protocol as I know it.
Meaning, this would require some help from the device manufacturer, but I don't think Microsoft anticipated that people would be using more than one Kinect.
@BurningdiverUK I'd think 4 would provide a pretty impressive picture, but I don't think it would be completely removed with the Kinect's specs no matter how many you linked together.
@arethemad i would imagine it would be 4 and above depending on the rooms dimensions, the potential is amazing, with this use of multiple Kinect's you could do all sort of crazy stuff
the fps rate isn't important if it for product inspection, one of it potential app is an inexpensive IR 3D scanner or IR realtime geometric inspection.
do have you plans in exporting it into STL or iges or step file for cad system?
so if you put another kinect behind tat, that'll create a map for a video game! Put 4 kinects surrounding NYC and bam GTA!!!!! ZOMG why am I so stupid? lol kinect wont take pics tat far GIANT KINECTS!!!!!!! that'll work
@gravyerd they already have released a limited sdk to help hackers. they have already said awhile ago they are going to make a improved kinect specifically for making professional grade tools and whatnot. There's a couple medical labs, for example, that want to take the basic kinect technology and make it higher resolution to help remote surgery.
Nice... We have been working with Kinect our Organic Motion software to achieve precise full 3D real-time motion capture. You can check it at the Organic Motion channel or youtube.com/watch?v=T9Mg7qIZr1I
so if u had alot of kinects could u like put like 1 in each corner then 1 in the middle of each wall could u like have the whole room 3d and see it all
@harrisonk3 Turns out the Kinect's color camera is higher resolution than I thought; 1280x1024 instead of 640x480 (the latter is the default). However, at the higher resolution the frame rate drops from 30 fps to 10 fps, which makes it a lot less usable.
@0m3n1337 It's primarily the internal processing in the Kinect, and the limited bandwidth on a USB bus. 1280x1024 has more than four times the number of pixels as 640x480.
@kasm279 Firewire has about the same bandwidth as USB2, but more efficient allocation for multiple streamers. But a "professional" version of the Kinect could use 1G or 10G Ethernet, Myrinet, or other high-bandwidth interconnects. Not at $150 a pop, though.
@okreylos any thoughts on using GPU's in reverse? Tessellating more geometric data by matching many frames and creating patches..
or raising video resolution by creating textures averaging many samples at the same location using the 3d location? Then expand the video resolution with the textures. No more black areas
I mean humans don't see what we see.. we imagine what we see from a small data set. That's why optical illusions work.
@pseudoexistentialist Yes, I believe free-viewpoint video will be the killer application for real 3D cameras such as this. It will redefine how we think of television or movies.
@power13413 I gave you a thumbs up but consider this: One Kinect facing North, and another facing East. Positioning a 3rd Kinect top-down 90 degrees from the N facing Kinect isn't the same thing as positioning it 90 degrees from the E facing Kinect. Either way you do it, the 3rd Kinect will be in the same location, and facing the same direction, but the images captured differ by 90 degrees.
Excuse me, correct me if im wrong but did i get it right? Are you able to record a 3D video with these 2 kinects, so if someone wants to watch the video later on from a different angle he can simply "move" his perspective?
Or am i wrong and i didnt get the point of the whole video...
@TacTiCOrc... That is exactly what he is doing, but he's more focused on real time augmented reality.
With at least 4 for a full 360 deg... but that may require polarized filters to prevent the cameras that face each other from blinding each other... we will see. Polarizing filters would add to the cost, but strobing the IR and offsetting them wouldn't.
This video shows that right angles are better then expected.
So yes 4D movies are possible.. The 4th D being you. RGBXYZ formats
Me and my team are working on a project like this, we have 4 kinects one in each corner of the room, were in the process of getting them at the right angle, would you mind telling us what program you use?
@xUltimateOfficial It's my own software; the multi-Kinect version is available from my web page. It's still experimental, but it supports more than two Kinects if your PC has enough USB buses.
Just wondering, you said in your other video that you cant use 2 kinects because then you will have 2 IR projections going on, could you disable one of the projections so both use only one of them?
If it is an IR laser, it should be possible to use more than 2 kinects since the response time is very very low, just might need some more direct hardware access than the OK SDK currently allows. 10ms should be more than enough for up, capture and down and that would allow 3 kinects at 30 fps

I just posted this on OpenKinect Wiki. Interested to hear your take:
Sequenced 3D Environment Mapper - Leal Vona * 3-4 Kinects in triangular/circular array * Taking pictures (depth camera on/off) in sequence at rate < 30 FPS o Kinect 1 - Frames 1,4,7,10, etc. o Kinect 2 - Frames 2,5,8,11, etc. o Kinect 3 - Frames 3,6,9,12, etc. * Depth camera IR arrays theoretically would not interfere with each other.
Ok im an idiot on your other video i posted this idea and i should have checked if you had done this yet :( but now you need 4 cameras from the four corners of the room
It seems that on one plane you could almost have free reign ...while with the other they may really buckle you in with no in flight movie.
The last time I danced in the aisle I was not suprised that I still had it however the obese woman that needed to pass (internal distress -restroom relief ) obviously didn't agree with my assesment when she said "stop twirling your penis like a helicopter, I'm just about to piss myself...oh sheeet!!"
@Baboonaiih Lidsville was a 1971/72 tv series that used that eras cutting edge analog editing and effects, this remarkable video is distantly reminencent of that show.
"interference" is probably comming from the quality (speed) of lazer's panning. I'm sure if Microsoft had a faster scatter.. the interference could be minimized but for their intentions it worked.. maybe they'll look at what we're trying to do with it and come out with a better on for pc use.. thus they make money and we are happy
I would believe that the heat-waves are basically same as normal light, so it doesnt matter how much of that comes from different places, because heat-lenses only take the light what they can take, from the directions what the lenses can see... It doesnt matter does the heat wave come from another kinect-device, because, it is only about making things visible for heat-lenses...
This is very interesting. Thank you for your fascinating work!

This is very interesting. Thank you for your fascinating work!
everyone is talking about adding 2, or 3 more kinects. if you notice this progression you will realise that eventually a person will reach a 'sweet spot' whereas they will have added enough cameras to completely eliminate all the shadows. that will result in a perfect 3d image.
the question then will be... what do we do with this image? instead of it being shown internally on a flat screen, can this now complete 3d image be projected? i would think that would be the logical next step.
LiDAR, LaserScanners, use an oscillating mirror to send out AND recieve the light, hence two kinects should only interfere if they measure a point at the same time. The possibility of interference thus should be reduced by implementing a third kinect. I see endless possibilities within the field of surveying for the kinect. :)
@okreylos, what I meant was can you play the videos from different angles after you've captured them by using 2 kinects? Or is it only possible to "rotate" the views in real time?
@MrShebaw You mean, as a YouTube 3D video? Yes, but the last time I did that ("Follow-up on Multiple Kinects") the results were less than satisfactory.
@huato115 what I meant was can you play the videos from different angles after you've captured them by using 2 kinects? Or is it only possible to "rotate" the views in real time?
@huato115 what I meant was can you play the videos from different angles after you've captured them by using 2 kinects? Or is it only possible to "rotate" the views in real time?
@MeetmeatNavarre No, there isn't really anything feasible that I could do. It just happened that they interfered less than I had feared. I still don't exactly know why that is.

Nice... I'm assuming this is similar to ESPN's software that moves around the field in 3d by combining images from their cameras. Great work!

My next move would be to develop a object permanence/persistence algorithm to reduce interference.

If it is an IR laser, it should be possible to use more than 2 kinects since the response time is very very low, just might need some more direct hardware access than the OK SDK currently allows. 10ms should be more than enough for up, capture and down and that would allow 3 kinects at 30 fps

It would be great if one could quickly produce high-quality 3D models by rotating an object in-front of a kinect.
Voxels come to mind.

You just need 4 kinects. And put them in a square.

I just posted this on OpenKinect Wiki. Interested to hear your take:
Sequenced 3D Environment Mapper - Leal Vona * 3-4 Kinects in triangular/circular array * Taking pictures (depth camera on/off) in sequence at rate < 30 FPS o Kinect 1 - Frames 1,4,7,10, etc. o Kinect 2 - Frames 2,5,8,11, etc. o Kinect 3 - Frames 3,6,9,12, etc. * Depth camera IR arrays theoretically would not interfere with each other.

It seems that on one plane you could almost have free reign ...while with the other they may really buckle you in with no in flight movie.
The last time I danced in the aisle I was not suprised that I still had it however the obese woman that needed to pass (internal distress -restroom relief ) obviously didn't agree with my assesment when she said "stop twirling your penis like a helicopter, I'm just about to piss myself...oh sheeet!!"
-when she slipped in it I was like "Woah!"

"interference" is probably comming from the quality (speed) of lazer's panning. I'm sure if Microsoft had a faster scatter.. the interference could be minimized but for their intentions it worked.. maybe they'll look at what we're trying to do with it and come out with a better on for pc use.. thus they make money and we are happy

I would believe that the heat-waves are basically same as normal light, so it doesnt matter how much of that comes from different places, because heat-lenses only take the light what they can take, from the directions what the lenses can see... It doesnt matter does the heat wave come from another kinect-device, because, it is only about making things visible for heat-lenses...
This is very interesting. Thank you for your fascinating work!

everyone is talking about adding 2, or 3 more kinects. if you notice this progression you will realise that eventually a person will reach a 'sweet spot' whereas they will have added enough cameras to completely eliminate all the shadows. that will result in a perfect 3d image.
the question then will be... what do we do with this image? instead of it being shown internally on a flat screen, can this now complete 3d image be projected? i would think that would be the logical next step.
YoungDaddyTC27 1 year ago
LiDAR, LaserScanners, use an oscillating mirror to send out AND recieve the light, hence two kinects should only interfere if they measure a point at the same time. The possibility of interference thus should be reduced by implementing a third kinect. I see endless possibilities within the field of surveying for the kinect. :)

Kinect does not use LiDAR or any sort of time-of-flight ranging.

Are the kinects reconciling with each other automatically or is that something you did?
MeetmeatNavarre 1 year ago
@MeetmeatNavarre No, there isn't really anything feasible that I could do. It just happened that they interfered less than I had feared. I still don't exactly know why that is.
