Re: Kinect and Lighting

I took some videos using the Kinect's patterned light and the calculated depth value per pixel. I saw some odd artifacts when pointing it at the lights, when pointing it towards the floor and having something shiny on the floor. Specifically, it was the plastic free-throw for Rebound Rumble. PolyCarb I assume, similar to this year's field. Anyway, the polycarb had a crazy depth value. I don't remember if it was a distant value or a close up value.

I also had some odd reflection issues off the diamond plate and the driver glass.

When I wasn't on an official field, I simulated some of this using a halogen work light and some polycarb scraps on the floor.
