3d Scanner Xbox Kinect

[Nathen Paisley]

DearFelipe,

unfortunately I am still stuck and unable to convert Kinect point cloud to mesh inside Grasshopper environment.

I did find tutorials in Houdini converting point cloud to mesh but how do I do the same for grasshopper.

the point cloud generated using Kinect contains ID, color, point, position. I believe converting it to mesh should not be hard with nearest point logic but how???

thanks alot Dear Martin, I agree that Firefly kinect is good at importing the point cloud to grasshopper env. but then converting these point cloud to mesh is where i am stuck. I will follow the recommendations suggested by you, Felipe and Riccardo and post the results here. thanks alot for taking time reading my thread

thank you martin for your recommendation.

it looks really powerful managing point cloud data compared to gh. I will get more in deep in it. thank you again for the suggestion

by the way could you give me your feedback on trimble x7 scanner? are they better than Artec scanners?

I was curious if any one out there has tried 3d scanning? I have an xbox 360 kinect sensor that i hooked up to the pc using the trial Skanect software. With the free version i have made a few cool scans which you can import into Fusion 360. Just down loaded mesh mixer and will see if i can figure out something cool. If anyone has any experience of ideas for work flows would love to hear about them.

I do a lot of 3d scanning, been working on a custom rig for about a year now for facial scans. Photogrammetry is the way to go for good scans, the kinect is very low resolution. here is a raw scan before touch up Raw untouched - 3D model by Cre8tive 3D (@brian33433) [5c9ac35] - Sketchfab

Build a DIY Desktop 3d Scanner With Infinite Resolution.: If you already have a camera then this project will cost less than $50 to complete. If you like to shop on AliExpress you can probably build it for around $30. If you like to support your...

I love it thanks!!! I new someone here would be doing it!! I went with the kinect as i had it on hand. I was thinking the scans could be starting points for solid models in fusion. I will post once i get something worth showing. And by the way x carved is definitely a legit verb!

: Great Photogrammetry software, highly recommended, can do amazing stuff with it, runs $179 for a standalone license. Or if you want to get your feet wet for free (but low-quality), check out Autodesk 123D Catch, runs on your phone.

do you have the limited or the payed version?

I am interested in the detail you can get.

I have some specific applications I would like to try as the photo based scanners I have tried do not fair as well.

The SR300 is integrated into various devices by third parties. For 3D Scanning, the most important one is the 3D Systems Sense 2 (Review) pictured above. This version is really intended for 3D scanning and comes in a housing that makes it easy to hold it in upright position. It works with the great (and free) Sense for RealSense software.

If you want a depth sensor to make 3D Scans on a Windows 10 machine, the RealSense SR300 is a great option. Because of the with free, versatile software I currently advice to get the 3D Systems Sense 2 instead of the slightly cheaper webcam-style alternatives.

As you can see the object scans are comparable to those made with the Structure Sensor, albeit with slightly less crispy textures. For scanning people, I found that the SR300 works okay for busts but that things get a bit tricky when trying to do full body scans (see examples of that in my Full SR300 Review). The Structure Sensor is better in that field.

I do share your frustration, to be honest! There is so much potential for 3D Scanning with the Structure Sensor, but Occipital seems to be more focussed on the VR/AR applications of the device, which obviously have more mainstream potential.

Hello Nick, first of all congrats on your site as is top notch and one of the most informative on 3d scan matters !

I am looking for a 3d scanner to mainly scan small parts like holders and plastic covers and was looking at SR300 as it is on my price range and i think it can work maybe with a motorized turntable.

I was looking also on Einscan and they seem to have more quality but the price is also higher.

I alredy had a kinect v2 for this but sold it due to lack of quality.

Thank you and keep up with the good job !

That said, the 3D scanner market is very dynamic currently and many companies are trying to lower the entry price. One example is the Eora3D laser scanner that is expected to start shipping somewhere this year: -pixelio-bevel-smartphone-3d-scanners/#eora3d

hi there ,all i need is to process depth frames , i am looking to buy a depth sensor which i can attach to raspberry pi 3

please suggest me something,

what i am going to do is , track the heads of the people ,that where they are going, in or out of the building, from depth frame i will get the head and from there, i will count people in out

please do some suggestions about buy which depth sensor

which has OpenNI support, SDKs for raspberry pi 3 model b

Using 3dScan in Win10 I got the Kinect V2 to scan people just fine. I just

couldnt get it to scan anything else with any kind of half decent results. I also had to build a heavy duty lazy susan to spin people. After the scan i used Meshmixxer to clean the scan and was able to 3d print models of people.

I did a preliminary test last night and the Astra Mini camera is not working with RecFusion. It does work with ReconstructMe, so I know the camera is working. I have questions out to both RecFusion and Orbbec, so, hopefully I hear back from them soon so that I can continue my review.

Hi Nick. Congrats on the site and all your work I think it is great!

I am thinking of buying the structure sensor for creating 3D scans of crashed vehicles. My idea is to make 3D scan of the crashed vehicles and their position in space along with a scan of the terrain. Th 3D models of that can be used afterwards to calculate various parameters that can speed up the crash insight. Can you provide a feedback if the structure sensor using an iPad Pro is suitable for such a task (outside scanning, large objects like vehicles and buses, scan of the terrain).

Thanks

Hi,

I am doing some prototyping of a product and looking at taking 3d scans. Accuracy/precision are important, colour isnt at all. I need to take a lot of scans, and the item is Around 30cmx20cm, but it can all be setup stationary. The scan time isnt particularly important as im currently using a reproduction method that is very labour intensive (but cheap), but is also very accurate.

Scanning cars with a depth sensor hard to pull off in general. You can try it indoors (sunlight messes with infrared sensors) and you probably need to experiment with Plasti Dip peelable rubber coating (at your own risk!) to counter the reflective of body parts. And you might need to add stickers for tracking on larger uniform surfaces.

Have you tried the ASUS Xtion? I have been playinh around with it for a few days, and Im quite impressed witt the results, allthough this is my first experience with 3D scanning, so I am interested in how it compares, especially to the Kinect that you didnt like.

The scan of solid objects, better known as 3D scanning, allows to obtain computer models with which to create virtual digital scenarios, characters to integrate in animations and videogames, but also and especially files to be used for 3D printing and for manufacturing via CNC milling machines.

Ever since 3D printers have been spread to the general public, to scan a face, a bust, but also any object has become an ambition of many hobbyists; but unfortunately the machinery to do it (that is to say, the 3D scanners), is very expensive and undoubtely beyond the means of the common user. In these pages we propose to actually use the Kinect (the motion sensing device for Xbox players) to acquire the shape of the objects via appropriate programs, that are even freely available on the Internet.

The usage of the GPUs of graphics cards implies some compatibility limits, and in fact along with the software a compatibility list is supplied with the various graphics cards. The software has two operating modes: a normal one (Standard, with a 1x1x1m volume, subdivided in 256 elements for each dimension) or a high resolution one (Hi-res, with the same volume, but with 512 elements). The operation of the compatible cards is not guaranteed for both modes.

To create our 3D model, we need to have installed the ReconstructMe software and the SDK for the Kinect. This last one can be downloaded from the Microsoft website (www.microsoft.com/en-us/kinectforwindows/), that supplies a series of drivers that allow to use the various Kinect versions. ReconstructMe can be downloaded from the website at the address , by clicking on the download button that can be seen on the left of the corresponding page; the software includes a series of predefined profiles. In practice, download the file with the .msi extension and proceed with the installation; the installer of ReconstructMe will essentially ask you a directory in which to install everything.

As for the part concerning the video card, you must have some drivers supporting OpenCL and it may be a good idea to check the website of the card or computer manufacturer, to download the most recent drivers. As indicated in the compatibility table (Table 1), only some video card models have such drivers, for other and more recent ones this is not certain and it is convenient to check the dedicated section of the website, that is periodically updated.

Possibly, try to experiment with the modification of the parameters of the configuration files, by following the indications of the documentation that is available on the website, maybe by defining a different scanning volume.
