Final Prototype

• depthmap rendering with 3 different reconstruction mechanisms
  • pointcloud projection
  • tsdf reconstruction
  • plane reconstruction
• using depthmap as Z-Buffer (GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT) for augmented reality occlustion

• optional OpenCV guided filtering with settings possible

Augmented Reality (ar/)

• AR Camera matching intrinsics
• motion tracking with correct gl positioning
• visualization of the current pointcloud
• ray-intersection for pointcloud interaction
• simple tower defense game with ray intersection
• simple direct pointcloud z-buffer occlusion

Pointcloud App (pc/)

• collects points into a large pointcloud using an octree
• exports to pts file
• plane based reconstruction applicable
• marching cube reconstruction applicable (usualy to slow here!)

Plane Based Reconstruction (construct/)

1. OctTree clustering of the global pointcloud
2. on incoming depth frame
	* update random n global clusters with points from depth frame
	* use RANSAC to detect 3 planes per cluster
	* project points from 3D space to 2D space (based on detected planes)
	* use Graham Scan to compute comvex hull for each plane
	* use Sweep‐line for triangulation with poly2tri
	* project polygon vertices back to 3D space (based on detected planes)
