Hi Marc,

May I know what the simulated kinect rendering technique is?
Do you use any 3D ray casting algorithm to generate the point cloud?

Thanks a lot

Yours sincerely,
Juekun

Hello Juekun,

the simulated Kinect is based on a vision sensor, and uses OpenGl to render the scene, then reading the generated depth map.
You could imagine simulating the Kinect with a sweeping ray-type proximity sensor too. That would be more precise, but probably slower.

Cheers

Thank you! Marc!
