Video corresponding to the paper “Real-Time Volumetric 3D Capture of Room-Sized Scenes for Telepresence” by A. Maimone and H. Fuchs, to appear at 3DTV-Con 2012, Zurich Switzerland, 15-17 Oct 2012. Video prepared by Andrew Maimone.
In this project, we designed a system to capture the enhanced 3D structure of a room-sized dynamic scene with commodity depth cameras, such as Microsoft Kinects. Our system incorporates temporal information to achieve a noise-free and complete 3D capture of the entire room. More specifically, we pre-scan the static parts of the room offline, and track their movements online. For the dynamic objects, we perform non-rigid alignment between frames and accumulate data over time. Our system also supports the topology changes of the objects and their interactions.
