Is there any way to get raw LiDAR data without inbuilt filters of ToF camera? - sdk

I am trying to get the raw LiDAR data from Helios2 time of flight camera. How do I remove the built in features which sharpens the LiDAR data output of pointcloud.
I am trying to access code of the SDK where I can make some changes but could not find that in Windows version of the software.

Displaying Google Tango scans with Hololens

I am currently working with Google Tango and Microsoft Hololens. I got the idea of scanning a room or an object using google Tango and then converting and showing it as hologram with the Hololens.
For that I need to get the ADF file on my computer.
Does someone know of a way to import adf-files onto a computer?
Do you know if it is possible to convert adf-files into usable 3d files?
An ADF is not a 3D scan of the room, it's a collection of feature descriptors from the computer vision algorithms with associated positional data, but the format is not documented.
You will want to use the point cloud from the depth sensor, convert it to a mesh (there are existing apps to do this) and import the mesh into a render engine on Hololens.

how to save laser-scan 3D point cloud as the format of ADF(google tango Area Description File)

the 3D point is generated by my laser-scaner, I want to save it as the format ADF,so Google Tango could use it
The short answer is... you probably can't.
There is no information on the ADF format but in any case it uses more than the 3D points from the depth camera. If you watch the Google IO videos it shows how it uses the angular camera to obtain some image features and recognize the environment. I guess using only 3D data would be too expensive and could not use information from distant points.

programming on kinect without kinect sensor

I recorded some motions as .xed file by Kinect Studio 1.8 and sensor Kinect for Windows at my University. And now I want to use this .xed file instead of kinect sensor, because at home I don't have it and I want to improve my app.
When I did points from similar problem it is not working, there is a message box that I need connect kinect sensor.
How I can open my app without kinect sensor and test it with this .xed file? I read about Fakenect but I can't find any documentation how to use it.

OpenCV supported camera types

I am using opencv 2.4.10 and am wondering if I hook up a usb 2.0 camera that uses a 10 bit analog to digital converter and has a resolution of 1328 x 1048, does openCV support that type of camera? If it does, how will it store the pixel information? (I have not purchased the camera yet and would buy a different one if the software won't work with it, so I can't just go test it myself).
clearly I didn't google well enough

Real-time Markerless Motion capturing using normal webcam

Is it possible to do "Markerless motion capturing" using a normal webcam, in real time? Are there any Open source frameworks available?
I need to construct a 3d model which will be animated using the captured data.
You could start with The Artvertiser (full source code available at the link).
You could also look at using the Ferns library, I'm not sure but I think it might be a part of the latest OpenCV.
