!! Mapping depth pixels with color pixels

The first step is to undistort rgb and depth images using the estimated distortion coefficients. Then, using the depth camera intrinsics, each pixel (x_d,y_d) of the depth camera can be projected to metric 3D space using the following formula:

!!! Transformation of raw depth values into meters
Raw depth values are integer between 0 and 2047. They can be transformed into depth in meters using the parameters given on the [[http://www
