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.
