  • The kinect uses a clever combination of cheap infrared projector and camera to sense depth.

    I can hardly find a word to express how much you have helped in my research study using kinect.
    Thank you!

    Glad it helped! The best thanks is a link to this video from a website or forum.

    incredibly well explained and simple video.

    I believe the important thing about the pattern is that it's random, so that the camera can differentiate between groups of specs. The broader term for this is "structured lighting". Google Structured-light_3D_scanner

    Thanks, you're a good presenter. Simple & Concise :)

    Please let me know how kinect comes to know the angle of speckle pattern pattern..?

    Good! Easy to understand the theory!!

  • @CuriousInventor
    @CuriousInventor  Před 11 lety +6

    Good clarification. Should have said irregular pattern instead of random. I wonder if the dot pattern is the same on each one, or they're all calibrated to their own pattern.

    Good! Easy to understand the theory.....can you tell me how can i used it with matlab?

  • @bluemeat8299
    @bluemeat8299 Před 9 lety

    so does the camera recognise each part, ie the sectors in the red grid example, via unique speckle clusters?

    Good one. Can you tell me what software you are using for the drawings?

  • @CuriousInventor
    @CuriousInventor  Před 11 lety +2

    SketchUp, Bamboo Tablet, Serif DrawPlus, CamStudio. All the drawing scenes are usually sped up during the editing process.

    hows does an IR sensor help to calculate the depth better compared to a secondary camera? Can you please explain that part again?

    Do you know if the Asus Xtion series of depth sensors work the same way? Would they have the same limitation of a single sensor in a room?

  • @CuriousInventor
    @CuriousInventor  Před 11 lety +2

    Totally guessing here, but I suspect there's some variance in the manufacturing, and that each unit gets calibrated at the factory.

  • @sd4dfg2
    @sd4dfg2 Před 11 lety

    Do all units have the same fixed speckle pattern, or is it learned after it's created?

  • @naitB
    @naitB Před 11 lety

    subbed!

  • @WerewolfSlayer91
    @WerewolfSlayer91 Před 9 lety

    But lets say i was to take out the cameras from the kinect and make a diffrent distance between the cameras that will affect the andgle right? so it won't be able to recreate the image?

  • @Grazfather
    @Grazfather Před 10 lety

    So you're saying somehow the lights are randomized (the leds are moved somehow), then that it's recalibrated? No. The pattern is predetermined. It might have been random at some point, but I doubt it.

  • @steamcastle
    @steamcastle Před 11 lety

    you can use multiple kinect, main problem is that the usb bandwidth is to high for two kinects, on one computer

    Cool

  • @carlandj
    @carlandj Před 11 lety +1

    One way to use 2 Kinects is to have one Kinect shaking side to side while the other one is still. The dots of the moving camera will look stationary to that camera while the other camera's dots are blurred and vice versa. V Motion Project did this. They also used one computer for each camera.

  • @Grazfather
    @Grazfather Před 11 lety

    It's not random. It appears random but the device has to be aware of the pattern it is casting.

  • @marbleshark6
    @marbleshark6 Před 10 lety

    There is no such limitation with either...

  • @qinggengzhuang5950

    I thought it was a time-of-flight lidar.

    • @CuriousInventor

      +Qinggeng Zhuang new one is ToF, old uses triangulation.

  • @VoltzLiveYT
    @VoltzLiveYT Před 10 lety

    ***** That doesn't work, just like before the two kinects would confuse each other and wouldn't be able to triangulate points

  • @diamony123
    @diamony123 Před 10 lety

    What if i told you, you don't need depth-sensor or any software.....well i just did...but will i tell you how...that's a billion dollar answer..but i'll take a couple hundred million. my name is not 4D for no reason
