How Does Kinect Video Recording Work?

This article will discuss how kinect video recording works and why azure kinect volumetric capture is becoming popular for 3D object creation.

When recording with kinect or other 3D cameras with the regular video stream also expect to get Depth frames. This makes 3D cameras unbelievably attractive as it enables them to measure the distance from the camera to every single pixel in the video. Such a method lets you have moving 3D objects without any animation or rigging. It recreates the real depth of the object as well as colour. You can then put this video into game engines, take out backgrounds, segment objects from the environment, etc Nowadays such recording is called volumetric capture and usually we use azure or real-sense cameras for it.

Azure Kinect volumetric capture is probably the most popular method for those who want to own the rig. The reason for that is the robustness and the stability of the camera. From my experience it rarely loses frames while Real-sense has good and bad days.

Azure Kinect Volumetric Capture

4 kinect azure volumetric capture setup.

The problem with azure kinect volumetric capture but also with any other camera you will use is that they need to be synchronized. Here I probably need to mention that in order to get volumetric video you must use multiple 3D cameras. I would advise having 4 or more of them. The more of them you add the less occlusion point you will have and therefore your recordings will be better quality. You can try to work with Kinect sdk to do this but from my experience it's a complicated process and it gets you nowhere. Therefore, I found a subscription based product for azure kinect volumetric capture. EF EVE Volcap software calibrates the cameras using markers. I have tried their software with 4 azure kinects following their tutorial.

Calibration of cameras for Kinect video recording.

Azure cameras need to be placed quite close to the object. The company  recommends a distance of 2x2 metres setup but I saw that one of the functionalities of the software lets you extend the distance. The setup was simple but you need to have a stand on which you place the marker. This lets you measure and calibrate feeds from different cameras at a certain location in the capture space. The use of kinect video recording gives you point clouds in real time. The point cloud is good enough for a creative project but I was looking for realism. Therefore there was a need to apply mesh. For the mesh application I have used another company’s product Creator. This software has a lot of functionality for editing volumetric video. I have cut the video using their time editor and used their automatic frame cleaning for any noise as well as what they call “brush” to clean more important parts such as faces. Application of mesh was very straight forward and you can right away see the result. Then I took the kinect  video recording and post-processed it. My file was large so I needed to leave the file to process for around 6h. 

Once that was over, I exported the file into Unreal using the company's UN project.

Conclusion

The process was very smooth and I was really happy with the quality. However, I believe that in order to get very high resolution I should add another 2 or 4 cameras. The software lets you add up to 10 cameras and I had 4. The functionality is good and I was especially happy with automatic cleaning. However, the AI still needs to be improved as some of the frames had noise. This can be cleaned with “brush” but if you have loads of noise then it might become time consuming. Saying that I can't imagine if I would have needed to do this by myself without this software. I would recommend trying out this azure kinect volumetric capture.

IMAGES: Modernized T-27 aircraft arrives at DCTA

Aircraft will compose a fleet of the Institute of Research and Flight Testing (IPEV), located in São José dos Campos (SP).

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 09/24/2022 - 3:00 PM in the Brazilian Air Force, Military

The Director General of the Department of Aerospace Science and Technology (DCTA), Lieutenant Air Officer Maurício Augusto Silveira de Medeiros, led, on September 15, the modernized T-27 aircraft (T-27M) from Lagoa Santa (MG) to the Institute of Research and Flight Testing (IPEV), in São José dos Campos (SP).

After landing, firefighters from the Brazilian Airport Infrastructure Company (INFRAERO) welcomed with the traditional baptism bath, which was attended by the Director of the Institute of Development and Industrial Coordination (IFI), Colonel Aviador Luiz Marcelo Terdulino de Brito. Soon after, Lieutenant-Brigadeiro Medeiros passed into the hands of the Director of the IPEV, Colonel Aviador José Ricardo Silva Scarpari, the record book of the plane, to the sound of songs sung by the Music Band and in front of the troop of the Institute, composed of pilots, engineers, mechanics and technicians who have participated in the project since the development of the prototype

The flight represented the delivery of the modernized aircraft, after a synergistic work carried out between the IPEV and the IFI, started in 2020. The Organizations contribute to the process of modernization of the T-27 with tests that evaluate the functionality, performance and reliability of the new systems, which are now presented in Glass Cockpit, based on aeronautical regulations and specialized techniques.

The Glass Cockpit concept made possible, in this aircraft, flights and approaches to landing based on satellite position and performance, that is, more direct and accurate, in addition to sending and receiving information for air traffic control through the Automatic Radiation Dependent Air Surveillance System (ADS-B), which consists of a surveillance technology in which an aircraft determines its position via satellite navigation and transmits it periodically to ground stations

Thus, using the knowledge acquired at the School of Training of Flight Tests (EFEV), IPEV professionals support the improvement of the Brazilian Air Force (FAB), either in the incorporation of new capabilities, or in the improvement of existing ones, contributing to flight safety, as well as to the fulfillment of the institutional mission.

"This modernization of the T-27M contributes to raising the level of the training of our cadets and highlights the high degree of competence of the members of the Lagoa Santa Aeronautical Material Park (PAMALS), IPEV and IFI. It also ratifies the excellence we seek as an institution, providing state-of-the-art equipment, aligned with the demands of the 21st century. In a remarkable way, the T-27M returns to the DCTA, where it was designed and developed to gain a prominent position as an instruction aircraft," said the Director General of the DCTA.

In total, 42 aircraft must be modernized, with the aim of introducing or changing technical and logistical characteristics in the systems or materials in use in Aeronautics, both to update them and to adjust their performance to the specific needs of today.

"At IPEV this magnificent machine also accompanied several generations of pilots and engineers who shared moments of tension and very high workload in the noble mission of forging the crews that today test the modern and newly arrived FAB aircraft, such as the Gripens and the KC-390. T-27M: Welcome to IPEV and DCTA. Know that our connection is prior to your first flight and that we will still have many hours to share together in the immensity of the sky, predicting, forming and testing the Air Force of tomorrow," said the Director of IPEV, Colonel Scarpari.

The T-27 Tucano was born from a FAB need to replace the T-37C, which was used in the advanced instruction of pilot training at the Air Force Academy (AFA). With an advanced design for the time it was developed and with differentiated characteristics for coaches of this type, the Tucano has become a reference in performance and established a new standard. Not by chance, the aircraft was chosen to be used in demonstrations of the Smoke Squadron and, in a short time, became a Brazilian symbol that conquered the world.

Oh and I found out that my midterm on the 27th is actually a take-home due then and so these next two weeks are Hell Week(TM)^2 because of course I put it on my calendar wrong and everything is harder than it seemed.

So Biostat is breaking my brain and the professor has very unclear notes that you have to fill in during lecture and if you lapse in attention for 30 seconds of the 2hour class you’re straight out of luck.

Good things today:  I caught a Skarmory and met someone else playing Pokemon Go.  Also I found a new song.
