h1. RGBD (Color data with depth processing)

*_This page discusses what utilities OpenCV should have for handling dense depth data_*

_____________________________________________________________________

* Fast normals calculation. Ethan has this, completely real time even on a CPU

* Plane segmentation. Kurt on this.

* Template on surface

** First, just take a 2D template and project what it would look like on a surface in a scene, assuming that place of projection is planar

*** This is to perspectively warp, say, templates for correlation based mapping

*** Next, map the template to the actual surface

* Compute *R,t*, Rodriques, Quarternion to rotate one vector in 3D so that all points in one scene may be rotated to another. 

** All these forms should be easily convertible from/to each other.
