Abstract
RGB-D cameras like the Microsoft Kinect had a huge impact
on recent research in Computer Vision as well as Robotics. With the
release of the Kinect v2 a new promising device is available, which will
- most probably - be used in many future research. In this paper, we
present a systematic comparison of the Kinect v1 and Kinect v2. We
investigate the accuracy and precision of the devices for their usage in
the context of 3D reconstruction, SLAM or visual odometry. For each
device we rigorously figure out and quantify in
uencing factors on the
depth images like temperature, the distance of the camera or the scene
color. Furthermore, we demonstrate errors like
ying pixels and multipath
interference. Our insights build the basis for incorporating or modeling
the errors of the devices in follow-up algorithms for diverse applications.
