Stereopsis #400

Open csp256 opened 5 years ago

csp256 commented 5 years ago

Many times I have observed a gaggle of highly educated people discussing results displayed in MeshLab while taking turns wiggling the camera so that the 3D structure of the data can be made more clear while they are talking. This is especially true if the data is of a point cloud or other geometry without shading or contextual cues, such as in scientific data visualization.

I would like to request a feature, or receive some direction in adding a feature, to MeshLab which can "bob" the camera to enable stereopsis-from-motion (biological structure-from-motion), so that people will no longer be required to awkwardly and manually wiggle the camera while discussing results with their peers.

For reference, this camera does more-or-less what I would like MeshLab to (optionally) do: link is not necessarily mobile-friendly.

If I would like to add this feature into MeshLab, where in the source code should I look? (Given that I have the requisite understanding of linear algebra and camera matrices.)

This is interesting. I will take note of it. I am not sure it is doable (because of how the trackball is implemented), but defintely take a look at it. However, it's not on our priority list.
