Dense Tracking and Mapping in Real-Time

[Greg Borenstein]

This amazing demo does basically the same thing application as Kinect Fusion, realtime 3D reconstruction of a scene with texture mapping, except using a conventional RGB camera instead of a Kinect:

The system tracks enough points in the image to reconstruct the 3D geometry of the scene as well as the orientation and position of the camera.

the really exciting thing about this is that it's scale independent (unlike the kinect).

that means you should be able to take a '3d scan' of an entire building facade just as easily as a miniature scene.

but where is the code? this video was posted last june :(

Is there an code available for the kinectFusion work? Amazing....

For folks interested in getting PCL inside of openFrameworks, it looks like netsk might be one way to go: http://nicolas.burrus.name/index.php/Research/KinectUseNestk

Brekel's stuff is usually Windows-only as I believe this is.

I would be super psyched to see some get up and running with PCL in OF and would be down to help in any way I can.

if you guys are interested in getting it running, i know both jason/jvcleave and arturo have done a lot of work on that front. i recommend reading through + posting in the thread on the OF forum:
