i can use function pcl.visualize() for
pcl = Cloud(file='models/test_cloud_4.txt'). Maybe i will try with your open3D version

[KonstantinosAng]

I have used this open3d version:

0.10.0.1

try:

pip uninstall open3d

and then:

pip install open3d==0.10.0.1

[KonstantinosAng]

I did this because the z coordinate for Kinect is the distance from Kinect to the object and the Y coordinate is the distance of the object from the ground to the Kinect. I always had the Z coordinate as the distance from the floor so I swapped the values to suit me better.

if i use
img = color_2_depth_space(kinect, _ColorSpacePoint, kinect._depth_frame_data, show=False, return_aligned_image=True)
i still see 30fps.
could the issue be due to resolution?

[KonstantinosAng]

Unfortunately, I do not have a Kinect Device anymore to test it, but I do believe that the reason the function is slow is that I perform some operations that are only needed when you pass the show = True flag. The only reason I have put that flag is to test how the aligned image shows, but it slows down the performance by a lot. I suggest no to use the show = True, and only call this function to get the points and then decide on how you want to display them.

I will push some changes in a moment that make some computations happen only when show is True.

[KonstantinosAng]

Can you pull the changes and try again to see if you can see a drop in fps, but do not pass the show flag?

hello i use this code below but terminal has a problem " "depth_2_color_space" is not defined" although i did import mapper library.

import mapper
from pykinect2 import PyKinectV2
from pykinect2.PyKinectV2 import *
from pykinect2 import PyKinectRuntime
import cv2
import numpy as np

if name == 'main':
kinect = PyKinectRuntime.PyKinectRuntime(PyKinectV2.FrameSourceTypes_Depth | PyKinectV2.FrameSourceTypes_Color)

while True:
    if kinect.has_new_depth_frame():
        color_frame = kinect.get_last_color_frame()
        colorImage = color_frame.reshape((kinect.color_frame_desc.Height, kinect.color_frame_desc.Width, 4)).astype(np.uint8)
        colorImage = cv2.flip(colorImage, 1)
        cv2.imshow('Test Color View', cv2.resize(colorImage, (int(1920 / 2.5), int(1080 / 2.5))))
        depth_frame = kinect.get_last_depth_frame()
        depth_img = depth_frame.reshape((kinect.depth_frame_desc.Height, kinect.depth_frame_desc.Width)).astype(np.uint8)
        depth_img = cv2.flip(depth_img, 1)
        cv2.imshow('Test Depth View', depth_img)
        # print(color_point_2_depth_point(kinect, _DepthSpacePoint, kinect._depth_frame_data, [100, 100]))
        # print(depth_points_2_world_points(kinect, _DepthSpacePoint, [[100, 150], [200, 250]]))
        # print(intrinsics(kinect).FocalLengthX, intrinsics(kinect).FocalLengthY, intrinsics(kinect).PrincipalPointX, intrinsics(kinect).PrincipalPointY)
        # print(intrinsics(kinect).RadialDistortionFourthOrder, intrinsics(kinect).RadialDistortionSecondOrder, intrinsics(kinect).RadialDistortionSixthOrder)
        # print(world_point_2_depth(kinect, _CameraSpacePoint, [0.250, 0.325, 1]))
        # img = depth_2_color_space(kinect, _DepthSpacePoint, kinect._depth_frame_data, show=False, return_aligned_image=True)
        depth_2_color_space(kinect, _DepthSpacePoint, kinect._depth_frame_data, show=True)
        # img = color_2_depth_space(kinect, _ColorSpacePoint, kinect._depth_frame_data, show=True, return_aligned_image=True)

    # Quit using q
    if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xff == ord('q'):
        break

cv2.destroyAllWindows()

try importing like this:

from mapper import *

[dongtamlx18]

oh i have a problem with my code and i fixed it, thank you so much your source code is very useful.
I wonder that if there is any source code about processing pointcloud by usung KinectV2, or something related about pointcloud using KinectV2. If you have this please share me, please.
By the way, thank you so much!

[KonstantinosAng]

@dongtamlx18 I have another repo that I use mapper to draw real time (30fps) point clouds with color and depth simultaneously:

https://github.com/KonstantinosAng/PyKinect2-PyQtGraph-PointClouds

[dongtamlx18]

You are amazing but i have a problem when i test your code. I don't know why is this happen?

from PointCloud import Cloud

pcl = Cloud(file='models/model.pcd')
(I did download model.pcd and placed it into right folder)

and information about the error:
File "e:/2022 - Nam4 - HKII/ĐATN/PythonDA-newVS/RunTest.py", line 3, in
pcl = Cloud(file='models/model.pcd')
File "e:\2022 - Nam4 - HKII\ĐATN\PythonDA-newVS\PointCloud.py", line 116, in init
self.visualize_file()
File "e:\2022 - Nam4 - HKII\ĐATN\PythonDA-newVS\PointCloud.py", line 647, in visualize_file
vis = o3d.Visualizer() # start visualizer
AttributeError: module 'open3d' has no attribute 'Visualizer'

Helllo sir, i scroll on Youtube and people said that Open3D lib does not support create pointcloud data, i do not know does it right or not so im here to ask you about that question. And could you help me to introduce me some technique that using KinectV2 to create pointcloud? Thank you so much!
Btw, I did read your code Pointcloud repository but i did not know too much, so I ask you here. Thank you!

[dongtamlx18]

Excuse me, could I ask you a question? I noticed in the source code that you swapped the x, y, z coordinates from the 'world_points' numpy array to 'x, y, z' coordinates. I am not sure why you did that. Does it have any specific significance or meaning? Thank you in advance! [image: image.png] Vào Th 4, 12 thg 7, 2023 vào lúc 22:09 CyberBoy ***@***.***> đã viết:

First of all, about the Open3d:

I do not know if you can create a Pointcloud with open3d, I only use it to visualize Pointcloud files (.ply, .pcd) that I create manually in my Repository. If you see my code you will see that I get the world point from Kinect and I manually create the file using the basic structure of the (.ply, .pcd) file format.

Second, about the x, y, z coordinates:

Where exactly do I swap the values because I cannot find the function ?

[dongtamlx18]

Hi, thanks for your reply. The x, y, z coordinates are not created by a function, but in these lines of code below: self._dynamic_point_cloud[:, 0] = world_points[:, 0] self._dynamic_point_cloud[:, 1] = world_points[:, 2] self._dynamic_point_cloud[:, 2] = world_points[:, 1] I see that you changed them by using an array. Is it true, or did I misunderstand something? Thank you Vào Th 5, 3 thg 8, 2023 vào lúc 15:00 CyberBoy ***@***.***> đã viết:

Hey Thank you so much! I'm trying to estimate the normal vector of this white tilted object in the picture below. I don't know much about Open3D processing, could you give me some advice on this? Which preprocessing should I do before estimating the normal vector or some keywords to find information easier? Thank you!

I think for image processing it is better to use OpenCV.
To compute the normal vector you have to find 3 points in the plane that you are looking for and to find the plane in the image can be difficult if the colors mix. Start looking for a way to first identify the tilted object in the image accurately.

[dongtamlx18]

Thanks for the tip! kaka I've completed several preprocessing steps, including cropping the point cloud (which might be similar to a pass-through filter), plane segmentation, and outlier removal. Thanks for providing the point cloud source. Now, I'm moving on to the final step: estimating the normal vectors. Here is an image for reference.
