Once I got the 'libfreenet' libs/wrappers built it was only a few lines to grab a frame and dump to file and then convert to a point cloud (scans 3.5MByte).
There's obviously a lot of work in cleaning the pixels and properly calibrating.

The Kinect (in a single instant) will only get you a view from one point, and car sized turntables would be expensive. So can 'we' track the movement/position of a Kinect as it travels around a large object? I am thinking of a stand somewhat similar to a hospital 'drip' stand with the Kinect mounted sideways at the top, so that it can tilt to look up/down. The operator would push the stand around the object, raise/lower/tilt the Kinect and take a series of 'RGBD' pictures.
So maybe 2 optical mice tracking the motion of the floor would get up traverse/turn information, the Kinect's accelerometer could give the vertical tilt (it's mechanically constrained to one axis) and a linear encode or another mouse could get us vertical height changes.
Once we collect a point cloud of a few million points, does this really help us produce a simple/reduced polygon model? And of course there's also a fair bit of work producing a XML to describe the operation of the car...
