10:33 PM goppo: hi
10:33 PM zhanx: hi
10:33 PM zhanx: how did the orb-slam work out for you goppo ?
10:34 PM goppo: zhanx i've run a few examples on ROS and it seems to be working alright!
10:35 PM goppo: zhanx a little flaky, but i can live with it :)
10:35 PM zhanx: cool
10:36 PM goppo: now i'm trying to measure 'shallow' depths of around 0.3m, but most of the depth cameras i see seem to have a minimum depth of 0.6m or so
10:37 PM goppo: can depth cameras be hacked to measure smaller depths?
10:37 PM zhanx: you can look up macro lens for that
10:38 PM goppo: can macro lens be applied to structured light cameras?
10:39 PM zhanx: yep. quick google told me that
10:40 PM marder is now known as katsumi
10:40 PM goppo: interesting
10:47 PM goppo: zhanx indeed there are some zoom lens for kinect, but i wonder why they won't interfere with the IR measurements
10:48 PM zhanx: you are gonna have to adjust that with tests
10:50 PM goppo: yeah
10:51 PM zhanx: rue_mohr, think moon's brother has use a lens with his kinect stuff?
10:57 PM rue_shop1: hi
10:57 PM goppo: hi rue_shop1
10:58 PM rue_shop1: hi, which brother are you?
10:58 PM zhanx: rue_shop1, don't think you got that right
10:58 PM rue_shop1: k
10:58 PM zhanx: I know moon wanted the kinect stuff for his brother was asking if you know if they did camera work
10:59 PM rue_shop1: oh, not sure
10:59 PM rue_shop1: trying to remember which one is moon
10:59 PM rue_shop1: cant remember everyones nicknames
11:02 PM rue_shop1: moon or moonbat
11:08 PM mun: if you slap new lenses on a kinect, would you need to calibrate the extrinsics? i thought you can't calibrate the kinect can't stream from its RGB and IR cameras together
11:08 PM zhanx: you can swap the firmware on them
11:09 PM mun: right
11:15 PM goppo: zhanx actually would i need just a lens over the IR projector or a lens over each camera?
