笔者评:众所周知,OpenNI接口是为自然交互而制定的,同时主要支持者还是自己公司primesense的衍生的相关类kinect产品,在1.0版本里底层的设备只有primesense公司的类kinect产品,中间件,也是自己工作的NITE,这些都未开源。只有OpenNI框架是开源的。OpenNI2.0多了不少中间件,但目前支持OpenNI标准的设备还是比较少的,PCL目前是针对3D数据进行底层的信息提前和处理,此次与OpenNI合作主要是为其开发中间件,其实就是PCL底层的应用开发拓展了。PCL将OpenNI作为3D数据获取的标准接口,也是因为本身OpenNI的后方primesense公司目前具有世界上领先的低成本3D数据获取技术,并且从技术上和市场上不断迈进。作为开发者来说,福音就是中间件是开源的。
OpenNI Recognized by PCL as Standard for 3D Sensing Acquisition
The partnership intends to enable new 3D sensing solutions by creating a platform for developers to build 3D sensing applications across all sectors of technology industries OpenNI, an industry-led organization formed to certify and promote the compatibility and interoperability of Natural Interaction (NI) devices, applications and middleware, and Point Cloud Library (PCL), the largest open source community for 3D processing, announced today a new cooperation to promote OpenNI as the standard for 3D sensing acquisition and development in order to bring computer vision solutions to the 3D sensing developer community.
The partnership intends to enable new 3D sensing solutions by creating a platform for developers to build 3D sensing applications across all sectors of technology industries. OpenNI and PCL will also work together through an innovative partnership that will focus on the joint development of crowd-sourced open source computer vision modules."We have chosen to collaborate with OpenNI to develop a long-term series of new co-sponsored OpenNI compliant PCL components for 3D sensing development," said Radu B. Rusu, Open Perception CEO and PCL founder. "We expect to see a massive growth in our already-large developer and user community, as OpenNI and PCL join forces to advance open source Natural Interaction interfaces. We will do our best to steer camera companies to adopt and use OpenNI as their standard."The open source computer vision modules will use the OpenNI-compliant depth maps as input, the program will be run by Open Perception, the maintainers of PCL.The OpenNI standard enables seamless adaptation to hand and full-body tracking, scene segmentation, volume estimation and object recognition, resulting in incredible machine vision and cutting-edge interfaces in industries such as robotics, living room, digital signage, industrial, medical, retail, security and more.
OpenNI is the largest 3D sensing development framework and community. The open-source SDK is the recognized standard for developing computer vision middleware and 3D solutions. The OpenNI community provides developers with a full range of software tools along with a vivid ecosystem platform for effective collaboration and promotion.The Open NI consortium was established in November 2010 as a not-for-profit organization whose purpose is to promote and standardize the compatibility and interoperability of Natural Interaction (NI), devices, applications and middleware.Point Cloud Library (PCL) is a standalone large-scale open project for 2D/3D image and point cloud processing and is currently maintained by Open Perception, a nonprofit organization in California. PCL's open-source framework including numerous state-of-the art algorithms for point clouds and 3D geometry processing, such as filtering, feature estimation, surface reconstruction, registration, model fitting and segmentation. PCL is developed by a large consortium of researchers and engineers around the world, and is financially sponsored by a consortium of more than 10 companies.
