Bad values in depth image

Question

Hello,

I'm using a depth image from Kinect XBOX 360. In resolution 320x240 I get for first 4 columns all values "-8" (640x480 - 8columns, 80x60 - 1 column). The rest of depth information is OK. Do somebody know please, why? It isn't any obstackle before Kinect, only free space. 

Answer 1

You will see this with other sensors as well. You will just have to ignore or crop that out given you test with other sensors. The depth data can get very noisy on the edges of the sensor, but is noisy in general. In general, you will have to do some filtering of the depth frame to fill in holes. As part of that you could assume some values for these pixels.
