I'd like to announce my first ROS package - the ROS In-hand scanner. It is a 3D Scanning application based on the PCL In-hand scanner for small objects by Martin Sälzle and the PCL developers.

Documentation can be found here:
http://pointclouds.org/documentation/tutorials/in_hand_scanner.php

Until now it was only possible to use OpenNI based sensors. I implemented a standard ROS interface for PointCloud2 message type.

My first results using Intel RealSense can be seen in the following video:

For the future it could be possible to create a RVIZ plugin, implement a global registration or generate watertight meshes for 3D printing applications.

For the moment have fun with scanning!
