I am quite surprised to see the final Kinect depth-sensing technology utilized two camera. The company Microsoft acquired (if I remembered correctly) is known as maker of cheap 3D depth-sensing camera which itself is a very interesting piece of technology (from what I understand, the technology uses an active camera which emit infra-red and detect it at the same time, thus, you can construct depth information from the structured infra-red reflection). I am interested to know what obstacle they have encountered with that technology.
- kenjackson 16y agoI think the Kinect depth-sensing just uses one camera. But I think they use the RGB camera for facial recognition, to get textures (to texture map your image over your 3D body), and to do some additional disambiguation. But for the depth-sensing, I think they just use the one sensor.
- liuliu 16y agoYes, you are right, after a closer look at the image: http://guide-images.ifixit.net/igi/eORRRALtniStOpl3.huge http://guide-images.ifixit.net/igi/eORRRALtniStOpl3.huge I think that it confused me because the camera we use in lab have IR projector embedded in the camera already.
