Appropriate meshing for RealSense data

[Thomas_5207]

Hi,

I was using the RealSense SDK for meshing and thought the results were good. For technical reasons I have had to switch to librealsense and wish to implement a similar type of meshing. Does anyone know which type of meshing the SDK uses? I was trying poisson meshing before but the SDK does not produce a watertight mesh so I suspect it does not use this type.

There's many suitable open-source implementations to look at. One of the most accessible projects is InfiniTAM: https://github.com/victorprad/InfiniTAM

There's a pull request on the project that brings librealsense compatibility: https://github.com/victorprad/InfiniTAM/pull/39

Here's a few others

https://github.com/personalrobotics/OpenChisel - need pose estimation for this

https://github.com/tum-vision/fastfusion - again requires pose estimation

VTK and PCL provide different meshing algorithms
