SciVi 3D Scanning Tool Framework

A small group of researchers combined with a bunch of students from the Technical University of Bergakademie Frieberg have released their own 3D scanning tool taking advantage of the Kinects depth data called. They named the framework SciVi. The application uses AR markers to calibrate the "extrinsic parameters of the camera" and then align different views of the object being scanned.

The SciVi framework then processes the data in order to extract the point cloud data. The end result is a 3D mesh which is generated using Poisson surface reconstruction.

The full source code and download have been made available on their site if you're interested in trying it out. A disclaimer comes with the download in the sense that it was developed primarily as a school project and may content bugs and other "open ends"
