.bin file in sync while ply files out of sync for two camera recordings

[jessiez0810]

Hello,

I encountered a problem while using LiveScan3D with two Kinect Azure cameras. When I play the .bin file in the player the recording shows the two Kinect cameras are in sync like this: https://youtu.be/aFD6q2zI6XU However, when I chose to play .ply sequence of the same recording to play in the player, the two Kinect cameras appear to be out of sync like this: https://youtu.be/Ophyb6914p0
It appears that all my recordings are like this. I made sure before recording that both cameras were calibrated and temporal sync is enabled. Would you know why this is?

Thank you.

Hi!

Thank you for posting this bug. I created the temporal sync component for Livescan. I'll try to fix this bug, but it may take a few weeks. I think you're also in the volumetric discord, right? I'll keep you updated there, and submit a PR once I could replicate and fix this issue.

Hi Jessie,

soo, I was able to fix this bug. It took a very long time as I needed to overhaul the sync-functionality inside of Livescan completly. I realized I didn't really implement the temporal sync in a proper way, so thank you again for bringing this issue to my attention!

Besides fixing this bug, the FPS of the recordings are also increased from 15 to 30 now, due to the new sync system! So it's a pretty major step-up.

For now, you can find the overhauled system only on this fork here, on the development branch: https://github.com/Elite-Volumetric-Capture-Sqad/LiveScan3D/tree/development. The changes I did are part of a larger overhaul of Livescan3D, so I won't be merging this changes into this repo for now, but I hope to be able to do this in the future!
