Dynamic scene reconstruction using asynchronous multiple Kinects

This paper proposes a novel method to reconstruct dynamic scenes by integrating depth data obtained by multiple Kinects, which cannot be synchronized to one another. In this method, the multiple Kinects located so as to cover the whole surface are firstly calibrated so that their depth data are mapped into the world coordinate system. The synchronous depth data for each Kinect is then generated by interpolation of temporally neighboring captured data. Experimental results of marching person reconstruction show the effectiveness of our method.
