Calculating Real World Object Dimensions from Kinect v1 Image Using Dynamic Resolution

What is this repository for?

The repository is the front end GUI of calculating real world dimensions of objects in the depth image using Kinect v1, using Matlab

Details of the working of the above algorithms can be found from our publication: Calculating Real World Object Dimensions from Kinect RGB-D Image Using Dynamic Resolution

[]

Dataset for testing

The code was tested on the objects found in the following Freiberg RGB-D SLAM Datasets

• Sequence 'freiburg3_cabinet'
• Sequence 'freiburg1_xyz'

Usage

• The RGB and depth images are loaded in the GUI using the load dataset button.
• The object is selected by the user using the mouse. Note that the coordiate order of selecting the object is fixed clockwise.

Details about the depth normalization used (to smoothen the data) is also available as a standalone matlab funcion at Mathworks FileExchage Website

Hardware and Software requirements?

The following software’s are required for use

• Matlab 2014b and above

Note: This application is only meant to run with data acquired from Kinect for Xbox 360 or Kinect V1
