I found this here  http://www.gurucycling.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Kinect-for-Positional-Data-Acquisition.pdf

And tried to represent it accurately in an OpenCVFilterPointCloud.java  with the following code

My latest ESP32/Nextion touch screen Weather/bus/train times project required a realtime clock.... however it has taken me quite a few weeks to find a good solid solution.
Firstly :-
....if you want to stay sane then avoid epoch time (best thing that happened in 1970's was "punk Rock" not unix count my seconds since birth)....rant over.

Kyle pointed me to Adafruits Animated Snake Eyes. The software can be used withot any extra hardware. I had a spare Raspberry Pi 2, so I installed it. Pretty cool. Depending on your choises during installation, you can get either a single eye, or two.

So I started a little Hack-A-Thon project over Thanksgiving. I initially was just connecting a single ReSpeaker Mic Array V.2 to a RaspPi running Ubuntu Mate and went through the tutorials. I also looked at a project called ODAS which had some pretty cool looking visualizations of Direction of Arrival and Angle of Arrival of detected sound. Unfortunately their visualization does not really run well on the PI. But... I am able to run part of the project on the PI and push the sound localization data to port on another computer. Also, I really don't need the visualizations.

It Worky(ish) ...

Ya .. not quite right - i do believe my spherical to real world coordinate system transformation is ... uh .. lacking in some way ...

It took too long surfing for this information, and its still scattered across the internet. 

Everyone has made great progress on Nixie release.   The maven build, quick and stable dependencies, Yolo, DL4J,  100 of bug squashed.  I thought I'd add a good seasons gift too ..

Long overdue - searchable tabs.
Now, I won't go crazy searching through all those InMoov tabs (where the hell is rotHead ?) :)

A small demo of using BoofCv to combine the depthmap and the videostream to get a realtime pointcloud.
