Kinect深度传感器应用于计算机视觉的评估

摘要（Abstract）：

本技术报告介绍了微软Kinect深度传感器应用于计算机视觉的评估结果，可以像普通相机一样返回照片，然而，照片中的每个像素点代表一定距离的信息，而不是颜色信息。因此，传感器被视为测距相机或3D相机。我们已经将Kinect本文还收集了我们在几个不同计算机视觉项目中的应用经验。我们只关注传感器的深度传感能力，因为该产品的真正新颖性在于它与计算机视觉相关。深度传感器的基本原理来自于红外释放（红外激光二极管）不同位置的反射光的距离（使用传统的红外传感器相机）。在本报告中，我们对深度传感器进行了广泛的评估和研究，如三维分辨率和精度、结构噪声、多相机设置和传感器瞬时响应，旨在帮助读者建立充分的基础知识从而判断背景Kinect传感器能否应用于特定问题。

Kinect Depth Sensor Evaluation for Computer Vision Applications

Abstract
This technical report describes our evaluation of the Kinect depth sensor by Microsoft forComputer Vision applications. The depth sensor is able to return images like an ordinarycamera, but instead of color, each pixel value represents the distance to the point. As such,the sensor can be seen as a range- or 3D-camera. We have used the sensor in severaldifferent computer vision projects and this document collects our experiences with thesensor. We are only focusing on the depth sensing capabilities of the sensor since this is thereal novelty of the product in relation to computer vision. The basic technique of the depthsensor is to emit an infrared light pattern (with an IR laser diode) and calculate depth fromthe reflection of the light at different positions (using a traditional IR sensitive camera). Inthis report, we perform an extensive evaluation of the depth sensor and investigate issuessuch as 3D resolution and precision, structural noise, multi-cam setups and transientresponse of the sensor. The purpose is to give the reader a well-founded background tochoose whether or not the Kinect sensor is applicable to a specific problem.
