Wrong results when computing Chunk- and Voxel-IDs about openchisel HOT 4 CLOSED

These pictures (integrating chunks into a chunk map) visualize the problem, that the voxels nearby chunk borders doesn't get visited.

What? I don't understand how this mesh was created. Were you integrating a depth image? Was the depth camera moving?

from openchisel.

I basically get all the chunks (e.g. resolution 0.03m, chunk size 16^3) from a running chisel node. In this case it was a depth image from a fixed RBG-D camera.

This is the recorded scene:

Then I insert all chunks into another chisel map (same resolution, different chunk size).
In order to do this, I compute for every voxel the new chunk- and voxel-id and update the corresponding voxel in the target chisel map.

Because every voxel still has the same position (resolution is unchanged), the resulting image should be complete again.

But be cause of the problem described in the first post, some IDs are invalid and therefore don't get overwritten.

When doing this kind of thing, its necessary to offset everything by half a voxel length. Otherwise, you get the rounding issues. A voxel begins at its minimum point and takes up all of the space to its maximum point. When you get the "coordinate" of a voxel, you are getting its minimum point, which is on the boundary of the voxel. By offsetting your queries by half a voxel length, you get the center of the voxel, and your rounding issues will go away.

Normally, when depth images/point clouds get projected into the voxel grid, the likelihood that they end up exactly on a boundary will be very low. But in your case, you are scanning through a voxel grid and re-inserting the values into a new voxel grid. When this happens, you're bound to get aliasing. Depending on the relative sizes of the chunks you're re-inserting into, you may need to do something like supersampling or interpolation. This is actually identical to the problems you might have resizing 2D images.

For this reason I don't recommend changing the units to millimeters or anything, because in the vast majority of use cases it isn't necessary.

Thank you very much for your explanation!
I tested your suggestion and it works well.

Yes, I can already interpolate Chunks to handle such cases.
