Hi,
I’d like to create a combined point cloud from two ZED 2i cameras in Touchdesigner.
What’s the best way to go about this?
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
I’m not a TD expect and we are not the one working on the ZED integration in TD but I think you can try to use a C++ TOP
This would allow the data to be directly handled.
The reference code to retrieve a fused point cloud can be found here : zed-sdk/depth sensing/fusion/cpp at master · stereolabs/zed-sdk · GitHub
Thanks for reply.
Can you outline how it would look from your SDK’s perspective?
To clarify, I am referring to the use of two ZED 2I cameras—they will be placed a few meters apart, and the point cloud would be combined.
Best,
Kuba
Yes sure.
If you are not familiar with our ZED SDK, there is a module called Fusion (https://www.stereolabs.com/docs/fusion/overview) that allows you to fuse the data from multiple cameras.
For that, a calibration step is required is order to determine to relative position of the cameras between each other. This process can be done using our tool **ZED360 **(https://www.stereolabs.com/docs/fusion/zed360) which will generate a “calibration file”.
As explained just before, this calibration file is required to use any feature of our Fusion module, in your case, the depth sensing module.
Then, once your system is calibrated, you can run the depth sensing fusion sample that I shared in my last message to get a fused point cloud of your scene, using both cameras’ point of view.
