Dynamic 3D scanner mesh generation

This project is the server program where it receives data from a 3D scanner and dynamically updates a 3D mesh with Marching Cubes.

This program requires data to be sent via TCP, specifically point cloud data. For this purpose, a separate Swift application has been made, which sends point cloud data from the compatible iOS devices to this program. The Swift application can be found here: https://github.com/Reivaxmar/ios-point-cloud-sender.git.

This project is part of my 'Treball de Recerca', a project that must be done in Catalonia for graduating from high school.

Usage

Prerequisites

Just some basic stuff:

• Modern C/C++ compiler
• CMake installed
• Compatibilty with OpenGL 4.5

Building the project

Download a zip file or clone the repository:

> git clone \
    https://github.com/Reivaxmar/Dynamic-Marching-Cubes.git \
    Dynamic-Marching-Cubes
> cd Dynamic-Marching-Cubes

Great! Now that the project is downloaded, it must be built:

> bash ./build.sh
> ./MarchingCubes

Now the server and viewer should be up and running.

External libraries

There is no need to have them installed, CMake will do it:

• GLAD for loading OpenGL
• GLFW for OpenGL window managing
• GLM for 3D math utils
• asio for networking

TODOs

• Implement distance shader
• Implement Marching Cubes shader
• Fix Marching Cubes shader
• Implement GLwrap library
• Add network receiving
• Fix async and bugs on networking
• Update README.md
• Do iOS app
• Fix iOS app
• Merge iOS app repository
• Calibrate world position and sphere radius
• Add screenshots to README.md
• Explain algorithm in Algorithm.md (or add link to paper)
• Option for smooth shading (use gradients)
• Implement TSDF instead of the weird thing we have
• Add colors / textures
