Details would be uploaded in great details later.

With Kinect I am capturing the scene, and I am suggesting a new way of object detection....

Not only primitives, but actual shapes also needs to be matched. For that I need to figure out creating meshes from point cloud, and also matching and fitting stuff to it.

  • It has been asked if data in txt format could be ported to the 3d formats. Any of the: stl, dxf, iges or pts 
  • In reply we have following links 
  • First pointer is meshlab (to do this interactively): http://meshlab.sourceforge.net/
