The document provides description on calibration of three Kinect for Microsoft sensors connected to one computer with several usb controllers. Three cameras setup is shown below:
Intrinsic, extrinsic, and Kinect2Kinect calibration is performed to know the position of each sensor in the space. Our setup is ROS Indigo with Ubuntu 14.04. freenect_launch and camera_pose ROS packages are used. Camera_pose package provides the pipeline to calibrate the relative 6D poses between multiple camera's. freenect_launch package contains launch files for using OpenNI-compliant devices in ROS. It creates a nodelet graph to transform raw data from the device driver into point clouds, disparity images, and other products suitable for processing and visualization. It is installed with catkin as follows:
