Kinect Projection Mapping

Abstract

Spatial augmented reality allows users to create a projected virtual environment on irregular surfaces. This demands an accurate Camera-Projector calibration process in order to produce precise 3D information to match the real object. This paper presents a framework to process data achieved from a calibration of a Kinect-Projector system in visualization applications, allowing the user to create an augmented reality environment without having extensive process of the Camera-Projector calibration, while maintaining a precise calibration to the projection on irregular surfaces. Additionally, different calibration techniques were evaluated in order to demonstrate the better approaches.
