Azure Kinect Transformation Example
Introduction
The Azure Kinect Transformation Example shows the transformations between a color image, a depth image, and a point cloud. It has two modes: the capture mode and the playback mode.
The Azure Kinect Transformation Example demonstrates the use of the Azure Kinect transformation functions
k4a_transformation_color_image_to_depth_camera()
, k4a_transformation_depth_image_to_color_camera()
and
k4a_transformation_depth_image_to_point_cloud()
.
Capture Mode
The capture mode in the example uses the device to record one capture (depth map + color image) and writes two color
point cloud files (color_to_depth.ply
and depth_to_color.ply
) to the directory specified by the user. The directory
provided by the user needs to exist. The color point cloud files can be viewed using Meshlab.
The first point cloud file (color_to_depth.ply
) is generated by warping the color image into the geometry of the depth
camera using k4a_transformation_color_image_to_depth_camera()
. The resulting transformed color image provides a
corresponding BGRA color reading for every pixel of the depth map.
The second point cloud file (depth_to_color.ply
) is generated by warping the depth map into the geometry of the color
camera using k4a_transformation_depth_image_to_color_camera()
. The resulting transformed depth map provides a
corresponding depth reading for every pixel of the color image.
Playback Mode
The playback mode extracts a single frame in a recording into a point cloud. The recording should be captured using
K4ARecorder
and should contain at least a color channel and a depth channel, along with calibration information.
The point cloud is generated by warping the depth map into the geometry of the color camera and is stored in the .ply
format. Note that the color channel needs to be in MJPEG format.
