how to remove my silhouette in the v1 Pointcloud example #118

Open FranciscoG opened 7 years ago

FranciscoG commented 7 years ago

When I run the pointcould v1 example I see my silhouette along with the pointcloud. Is there a way to just output the pointcloud?

Here's what I'm seeing. I tried getting farther away and still saw my shadow/silhouette

That's a "feature" of the Kinect. Either move your Kinect to get better coverage of what you want to see in the Kinect view (since the Kinect projects its own light into the space) or use something like the DepthThreshold example to remove the background after a certain depth.
