Yeah, I had a lot of issues with RGBDemo losing track of where it was and building another point cloud at some arbitrary orientation from the original point cloud.<div><br></div><div>RGBD-6D-SLAM was supposed to be better, but is bet run under linux, and by the time I got all that set up, I was kind of over my initial project. Didn't help that I don't own a kinect so I had to go to his house to borrow it. And then, dealing with point clouds is a pain.</div>
<div><br></div><div>When I find a *good* solution, I'll totally buy a kinect. Not interested in it for the gaming though.</div><div><br></div><div>I just wish MS would release the dam source for that new demo already. As best as I can tell, they have said NOTHING about it except what they showed at SIGGRAPH. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Also, total aside, but have any of you guys seen what they're doing on the Ultimaker mailing list?</div><div><br></div><div>Someone posted this today:</div><div><a href="http://i.imgur.com/rmZGK.jpg">http://i.imgur.com/rmZGK.jpg</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>I'm not that familiar with this DIY 3D printing, but as far as I can tell that blows most everything else current out of the water! Of course please correct me if I'm wrong.</div><div><br></div>

In my experience, whenever you see a really amazing software in a research paper, the source never gets released. Probably because they are researchers and not software developers, their code is buggy / user unfriendly / uses expensive proprietary libraries / only works well in specially controlled conditions that the average person would consider cheating? I dunno.<br>
<br>Usually you have to wait for someone else to look at the research, and then implement it from scratch (this someone could even be you!). Which could be anywhere from a couple weeks to never, probably depending on the complexity, usefulness, popularity of the research, and how well the paper actually explains it.<br>
<br>RGBDemo already has room reconstruction like in the microsoft kinectfusion demo, and is open source, unfortunately the speed & quality is nowhere near the kinectfusion one. Hopefully it continues to improve, it's still fairly new.<div>

<a href="http://davr.org/uploads/meshlab.png" target="_blank">http://davr.org/uploads/meshlab.png</a><br>
<br>Getting a full object scan requires either:<br>A) Manually taking a couple scans from different angles and merging them in meshlab, eg:<br><a href="http://www.instructables.com/id/Using-Meshlab-to-Clean-and-Assemble-Laser-Scan-Dat/" target="_blank">http://www.instructables.com/id/Using-Meshlab-to-Clean-and-Assemble-Laser-Scan-Dat/</a><br>
<br>B) Using RGBDemo room constructor mode with a special box around the object to fake it out into thinking the kinect is moving, eg:<br><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7LthXRoESw" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7LthXRoESw</a><br>
