Data
See Zenodo to download the object meshes and data used in the paper.
The used capture tool and KinectFusion implementation is a pre-production version of the tools which are now integrated into the official Microsoft Kinect SDK, available here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/kinectforwindows/develop/developer-downloads.aspx
Update Jan 2014:
Thanks to Mohamed Chafik Bakkay of the Research Team on Intelligent Systems in Imaging and Artifcial Vision (SIIVA), Laboratory RIADI in Tunisia
the Kinect Raw Data is now also available in the OpenNI .oni file format.
