Making Streetview for my grandma

[lucan]

Hi,
i build a new house and now i want to show it to my grandma. The Problem my grandma have to stay in Bed. So we took Pictures of the house the garden the environment. But its not the same as with streetview ^^

So i searched around and found rtab mapping with Kinect.

Please let me know if my planes are rubbishy.

I have Kinect 360 / Kinect One, Raspberry 3B+ with 3,5" HDMI Screen, some arduino sensors, Android tablet, Ipad 4, Surface 4, Tower with i5 second generation. I am gaming on consoles so my PC have no extra graphics card and have 2 quadcopter. Now you know all my hobbies.

Is it possible to do the streetview thing and getting a 3d model of my home for 3d printing (will get one soon)?
How would you do this?
Which hardware should i use or i have to get?

Hope you can give me some advices

Hi Lucan,

For the outdoor, I would use the drone and take pictures of the house from different angles. Then using a photogrammetry app (e.g., http://ccwu.me/vsfm/ with this tutorial to generate a mesh with meshlab, or dji drone deploy https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=436&v=q3wXggCqY_8), you would be able to get nice looking exterior (like google Earth 3D).

For indoor, the most simple and robust option is with Google Tango on an Asus ZenFone AR (with RTAB-Map, Google Constructor, Open Constructor or Matterport apps for examples). Another consumer option is to buy a structure sensor for iPad with the app from Occipital.

Without buying anything, using RTAB-Map windows binaries with a laptop/surface4 with one of the Kinects (xbox one will be more accurate) could work (assuming you can make the kinect running on battery), but for small rooms and with careful scanning to limit the localization drift (following the scanning tips from here).

Hope you will be able to show your house to your grandma with one of these apps!
