Simulink for PCV (Point Cloud Viewer)

Simulink for PCV is a block for 3D Point Cloud View and wrapped native OpenCV library.

Description

Simulink for PCV allows users to reconstruct a 3D view from multiple point cloud data generated from Simulink for NID. Simulink for PCV wraps OpenCV to enable to stitch over a million point cloud data such as 3D panorama view (and potentially SLAM view) with faster performance.

[Required software]
- OpenCV 2.3.1 for Windows 32bit/64bit (http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencvlibrary/files/opencv-win/2.3.1/OpenCV-2.3.1-win-superpack.exe/download)
- 32bit/64bit version of MATLAB R2011b or later
- Simulink for NID (http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/32318-simulink-for-natural-interaction-device-nid)

[Optional software]
- Computer Vision System Toolbox (highly recommended)

Hi Takashi,
I'm getting the same error (Invalid >MEX-file '...\Lib\sfun_pcv.mexw64': The >specified module could not be found). Have you had a chance to fix the error yet? If yes, looking forward to how I can fix it as well.

Also, if I wanted to add a 'Video to Workspace' block after the Pointcloud block, would it be possible? There isn't a output port. Is there a way to extract the XYZ data?

The latest 0.2.0 runs on 32bit and 64bit of MATLAB!, actually, 64bit seems to be faster than the other.

Hi Anas,

>but the model is not running (Invalid >MEX-file '...\Lib\sfun_pcv.mexw64': The >specified module could not be found.)
Yes, I have exact same error. It seems that .dll loading was failed. I need to do some investigation to fix the error.

Another good one Takashi!

hi Takashi,
I also tried to do the compilation with the 64-bit version of OpenCV. After some changes to the mex statement, the compilation finished successfully but the model is not running (Invalid MEX-file '...\Lib\sfun_pcv.mexw64': The specified module could not be found.)

Hi Anas,

Install 32bit version of MATLAB and OpenCV on 64-bit Windows.
I tried 64-bit version of OpenCV (e.g. 2.4.1), but some errors occurred during mex and simulation. Sorry for this restriction.

Hi,
What should i do in order tom make it run on 64-bit windows?
