| Summary: | We present a Virtual Reality (VR) application for labeling and handling
point cloud data sets. A series of room-scale point clouds are
recorded as a video sequence using a Microsoft Kinect. The data
can be played and paused, and frames can be skipped just like in a
video player. The user can walk around and inspect the data while
it is playing or paused. Using the tracked hand-held controller, the
user can select and label individual parts of the point cloud. The
points are highlighted with a color when they are labeled. With a
tracking algorithm, the labeled points can be tracked from frame
to frame to ease the labeling process. Our sample data is an RGB
point cloud recording of two people juggling with pins. Here, the
user can select and label, for example, the juggler pins as shown in
Figure 1. Each juggler pin is labeled with various colors to indicate
different labels. |
