Wind tunnel tests often require deformation and displacement measures to determine the behavior of structures to evaluate their response to wind excitation. However, common measurement techniques make it possible to measure these quantities only at a few specific points. Moreover, these kinds of measurements, such as Linear Variable Differential Tr...

... it is not possible to move Kinect V2 around the structure during the test to perform the 3D reconstruction in a conventional way, 3 Kinect V2 sensors were placed according to the scheme in Figure 3. The number of sensors was limited to the minimum, since a higher number of sensors would not significantly reduce the uncertainty, unless a very high number of sensors was applied with a high overlap of point clouds, to have a large number of measurements at the same point. ...

... 1 was placed at a height of about 0.2 m from the ground and it was inclined with respect to the vertical direction at about 20° (Figure 3b). On the other side, sensors 2 and 3 are connected to the walls of the wind tunnel at a height of about 2.5 m and rotated toward the structure and downwards. ...
Context 4
... displacements were measured at 1 /4 of the total length section with respect to 3 /4 of the total length section, since the 1 /4 section is more distant from the connection of the tensile structure to the ground ( Figure 13); 4. ...

With the development of 3D vision techniques, RGB-D cameras are increasingly used to allow easier and cheaper access to the third dimension. In this paper, we focus on testing the potential of the Kinect Azure RGB-D camera in the 3D reconstruction of indoor scenes. First, a series of investigations of the hardware was performed to evaluate its accu...
