RR:(Instrumentation) Shooting in 3D with the Zmini Camera

这个项目从EPSCoR的状态，获得一个Zmini摄像机，以视频速率捕捉3D信息(实时颜色和深度)，旨在建模和渲染3D信息。活动包括使用Zmini相机从多个视点获取点云，使用改进的行进立方体算法生成曲面，并自动将模型绑定到角色动画的骨架(称为自动装配)。因此，来自相机的点云建模将用于创建曲面，特别是人形，可以自动装配和设置动画。计算机科学图形(CSG)和数字制作艺术(DPA)程序都将使用该相机。这项研究涉及以下项目：基于点云和流线的曲面重建数字字符生成。广泛影响：使用Zmini摄像头捕捉和制作3D图像动画有望在教学和学习中产生重大影响，以及促进学习者的发现和理解。该设备将为学生和教职员工提供机会，将基于图像的建模纳入他们在DPA项目中的工作。该摄像机将用于少数民族学生比例较高的班级，学生将在会议演示互动计划中获得研究经验。

This project from an EPSCoR state, acquiring A Zmini camera that captures 3D information (real time color and depth) at video rates, aims to model and render 3D information. Activities include Acquiring a cloud of points using the Zmini camera from multiple viewpoints, Generating a surface using a modified marching cubes algorithm, and Automatically binding the model to a skeleton for character animation (called auto-rigging).Thus, point cloud modeling from the camera will be used to create surfaces, specifically humanoid, that can be auto-rigged and animated. Both Computer Science Graphics (CSG) and Digital Production Arts (DPA) programs will use the camera. The research involves the following projects: Surface Reconstruction from Point Cloud and Stream Line Digital Character Generation.Broader Impact: The use of the Zmini camera to capture and animate 3D images promises to have significant impact in teaching and learning, as well as advancing discovery and understanding of learners. The device will provide students and faculty with the opportunity to incorporate image-based modeling in their work at the DPA program. The camera will be used in classes with a high percentage of minority enrollment where students will gain research experience in the conference presentation interactive program.
