Exact Hardware used (What version of the Asus Xtion?) #12

Hi,

I'm trying to buy the same sensor you're using. The Paper mentioned Asus Xtion What's the exact model name of the ones used by you?

There is the regular Asus Xtion, Asus Xtion PRO Asus Xtion Live Asus Xtion PRO Live

All so confusing...

http://wiki.ipisoft.com/Depth_Sensors_Comparison#Xtion_Live_vs_Xtion_vs_Carmine (See the most bottom part)

PRO seems mean for Developers (same hardware but different software?) Live seems to mean it has an RGB sensor

Since RGB was used, I suppose you're using either the Asus Xtion Live or Asus Xtion PRO Live?

can you check if yours is "PRO" and whether it is needed (PRO is more costly)

Thanks!

It should be an Asus Xtion Live. I have no idea if it was a PRO version and the camera is no longer with me. Sorry for that.

Anyway, I don't think the camera model is very important. It could work as long as the camera can provide correct RGB and depth images and you have correct software drivers to get the streaming. You may want to check parameters such as resolution or depth range based on your applications.
