Description

FreeKinect3d is a tiny, open-source 3D visualization tool for Kinect. It performs a metric 3D reconstruction (in millimeters) based on the depth data captured by a Kinect camera. The software is written in C++ and is based on libfreenect (Kinect driver), OpenGL, GLUT and POSIX threads.

Installation and Usage

Installation

• Install libfreenect, OpenGL, GLUT and POSIX threads.
• Download the FreeKinect3d source code.
• Set the libfreenect path in the makefile.
• Run make

Usage

• You can either run the executable in the bin folder or
• include the source code in your project and call the viewer in the following way:

   void the_main_thread()
   {
      // do something...

      FreeKinect3d* fk3 = FreeKinect3d::Get();
      fk3->start();
   }

Options

• 'UP' - tilt up device
  
• 'LEFT'/'RIGHT' - level
  
• 'DOWN' - tilt down
  

• 'Esc' - quit
  
• 'm' - switch on/off mesh rendering
  
• 'p' - switch on/off point rendering (default is point rendering)
  
• 'l' - shows/hides camera look-at-point
  
• rotate: left mouse button
  
• pan: middle mouse button
  
• zoom: wheel (does NOT move the camera look-at-point)
  
• zoom: right mouse button (moves the camera look-at-point)
