Also, if the frame rate is decent enough, you may be able to spin this thing on a vertical axis for Velodyne type readings. We did this with single plane LIDARs (this project: MIT CSAIL Autonomous Forklift), and the results were pretty good.
The cool thing about the depth sensor here is most CV algorithms (edge detectors, feature finders), should just work. |
Frame rate is 30 fps according to the technical specs that I have seen floating around.
I'm also very curious as to how it would perform outside. The Microsoft documentation specifically mentions making sure there is no direct sunlight on you or the Kinect when you are using it so there is probably at least some performance degradation.
