Once you have captured every part of the subject (don’t forget the top of the head and under the chin!) you can stop the scan. If you get a “Tracking lost, please move to the last frame” error, then you are moving too fast. The higher your frame rate, the faster you can move. Move only as fast as your computer is capable of. Make note of the FPS (frames per second) shown at the bottom. Start moving the kinect around the person. Once the subject has choosen a position they can keep perfectly still in, begin the scan. If they move even the slightest, the scan will be ruined. The subject needs to remain perfectly still. Have them take off any glasses, as they tend to distort the scan. To start your first scan, have your subject stand in the middle of a room with enough room for you to walk around them.
Here you can see the output of the kinect, with its color and depth information on the right. These settings give different bounding box sizes to allow you to scan a variety of settings. Inside Skanect, you can see settings for body, object, half room and full room. Once those are downloaded and installed…. If you are using Windows, you’ll also need to download the Kinect SDK, also linked at the bottom of the download page. Installing Skanect is easy, just follow the instruction on the Skanect download page. Skanect – This software is designed for both the PC and Mac, and will be the brains of the operation.
You can find these online for less than 10 dollars. This adapter splits the orange plug on the kinect into a DC power jack and a usb jack. The original kinect uses more power than a usb jack can provide. The one that shipped with the Xbox One, the Kinect v2 will not work. Be sure to grab the original kinect, the one for the 360. You can pick one of these up at a pawn shop for around 30 bucks now days. You only need a couple things in order to create your own 3D scanner at home. And even better, since the XBox One came out, you can pick up the original kinect for less than 30 bucks at a pawn shop. These days, using an XBox Kinect and some free computer software, you too can have a 3D scanning at your house. Much like 3D Printing, 3D Scanning used to be something that only large engineering firms had access too.
