PointCloud-Visualizer

This project is based on converting the depth map into point cloud and visualizing X-Y-Z point cloud coordinates in 3D scatterplot. User interface is look like as below:

Procedure:

• Import depth map file(.hdf5) with the help of file dialog window
• Import point cloud file(.csv) with the help of file dialog window
• Import configuration file(.yaml) with the help of file dialog window
• Show button creates an 3D scatter graph if the files are chosen

Notes on running:

• Configuration file includes upper and lower thresholds of Z-axis
• Threshold values are shown in text boxes immediately right after configuration file is chosen
• Values in text boxes are not editable, threshold values can be changed only in configuration(.yaml) file
• Export button exports the thresholded Z-axis point cloud coordinates into a file which saves as u(upper_threshold value)l(upper_threshold value).csv under pcl_files directory
• pcl_files/point_cloud_xyz.csv file includes each and every point of depth map

Installation and Running

Install the required packages with command below:

pip install -r requirements.txt

and run the user interface.

python ui.py

Image by Intensity Values of the Model File

Point Cloud Values of the Model File

TO-DO

• User interface needs to be improved
• UI elements inside docker container needs to be improved
• Automating software deployment such as Kubernetes can be used for deployment of dockerized container
