In this paper, we characterize the noise in Kinect depth images based on multiple factors
and introduce a uniform nomenclature for the types of noise. In the process, we briefly …

Depth sensing is crucial for 3D reconstruction and scene understanding. Active depth
sensors provide dense metric measurements, but often suffer from limitations such as …

We present a novel immersive telepresence system that allows distributed groups of users to
meet in a shared virtual 3D world. Our approach is based on two coupled projection-based …

LiveScan3D is a free, open source system for live, 3D data acquisition using multiple Kinect
v2 sensors. It allows the user to place any number of sensors in any physical configuration …

Real-time 3D scanning of a scene or object using multiple depth cameras is often required
in many applications but is still a challenging task for the computer vision community …

We present a novel yet simple technique that mitigates the interference caused when
multiple structured light depth cameras point at the same part of a scene. The technique is …

There is currently a strong need for collaborative systems with which two or more
participants interact over a distance on a task involving tangible artifacts (eg, a machine, a …

We present an efficient method to evaluate distances between dynamic obstacles and a
number of points of interests (eg, placed on the links of a robot) when using multiple depth …

Abstract The second-generation Microsoft Kinect uses time-of-flight technology, while the
first-generation Kinect uses structured light technology. This raises the question whether one …

This paper presents a mixed reality (MR) system that results from the integration of a
telepresence system and an application to improve collaborative space exploration. The …
