Space Stream

Send RGB-D images over spout / syphon with visiongraph.

Source: Intel® RealSense™ Sample Data

Installation

It is recommended to use Python 3.8, Python 3.9 or Python 3.10 and should run on any OS. First create a new virtualenv and activate it. After that install all dependencies:

pip install space-stream

Usage

Simply run the spacestream module with the following command to run a capturing pipeline (RealSense based). After that you can open a spout receiver / syphon receiver and check the result there.

space-stream --input realsense

To use the Azure Kinect use the azure input type:

space-stream --input azure

Development

To develop with this project, clone the git repository and install the dependencies from the requirements:

pip install -r requirements.txt

To call the module directly, use the -m command from python:

python -m spacestream

Depth Codec

By default the depthmap is encoded by the linear codec. It is possible to change the behaviour to use a specific encoding method. Be aware that some functions have an impact on performance. Here is a list of all available codecs:

Linear,
UniformHue
InverseHue

The codecs UniformHue and InverseHue are implemented according to the Intel whitepaper about Depth image compression by colorization.

Bit Depth

The encoded bit-depth depends on the codec used. For Linear codec there are two different bit-depths encoded. First the 8-bit encoding in the red channel and 16-bit encoded values in the green (MSB) and blue (LSB) channel.

Distance Range

To define the min and max distance to encode, use the --min-distance and --max-distance parameter.
