Using a turntable with the Kinect sensor for 3D scanning

Using a turntable with the Kinect sensor for 3D scanning

In this video, I am showing you my experiences in using a turntable to scan objects with a kinect sensor. Have fun watching!

I have worked extensively with Kinect One. Kinect uses the accelerometer to map its movement from the object and then creates a point cloud data. However, if you have a turn table it is confused in creating the point cloud data.

The issues are because the lighting is changing as it rotates so the shadows especially on the front of the bear change as it moves. You either need a super soft light directly over the bear or to have the lights move with the turntable.

I saw a helpful video which no other video showed before using version 2. They updated their driver through windows settings before opening up 3D scan. Then used 3D builder to finish their scan and they were turning.

Hey you are a saint thank you so much for making content on using the Xbox One Kinect for scanning. More of a digital 3D guy myself than 3D printing, excited to use your methodologies!

You should try it in the dark. Kinnect uses infrared light patterns to calculate depth instead of pixels like normal photogrammetry. I think your lighting is confusing the sensors by washing out the patterns that it's looking for.

I had my head and upper body scanned at our local maker space and after about 10 minutes in meshmixer I have a 3d model of myself. The scan was done with a tablet I think. I'll have to ask about the device and software used and let you know.

Why do you need lighting at all? I think the lights have a negative effect on the points of light coming from the Kinect. I know that maybe people use the Kinect system in pure darkness and it still can track all surfaces with infrared Lights.

Found your channel recently. Your videos are amazing and very helpful. Thank you. Looking for many more to come.

fuzzy texture is not the best for 3D scanning, every little hair bouncing light in different direction, you should try with the lion

[JoseAOnieva]

Hi! I saw that on the scan with the turntable you used a white surface . Why not using a texture for it like in the previous video? Maybe it helps... Greetings!!

[necoinside]

You can may try to turn camera around an still object with turn table.

[mahoutie]

I would have tried putting the Kinect sensor in a vertical position. The depth sensor and the camera both need to see the surface you are trying to scan.

[bill_r]

do you think changing the angle and height of the Kinect for 3 rotations would make a difference?

[jdjizzle]

And you only had the kinect at one height didnt you do a couple passes when you walked with it so maybe straight in front and a downward angle?

[sheariley]

I think maybe you needed to scan from multiple vertical positions (above the object, at the same level, and below the object).

[rezaemami]

Hey Daniel, does xbox one kinect scan the objects better? I mean with more resolution.

[MrHeretic]

You need to rotate camera around an object. Lighting must reamain the same during all the process. So it might be better solution to put camera on arm that attached to axis under the center of the object.

[diogomonteiro]

Can you pleas tell me wich software are you using on this video

[mustafasalih]

Why you are don’t use a ring to rotate camera or laser?!!

[stuartwalters]

What's the smallest item that could be scanned assuming the details and texture are ok? I'm interested in scan wargame minatures and terrain
