Re: Distance Algorithm

I think you'll find that this is the same technique as what is in the white paper, but rather than use the constants about the camera and the target and work through the relationships, this measures it as a black-box system, determines the relationship, and uses field-data to model it. When systems get complex enough, this is a very good approach. Since the math involved is just a bit of trig, it should be pretty easy to show how to compute k and to compare it to the measured value.
