Re: pic: Vision Development

We were having dismal vision tracking at Troy (using only the high target). While I was standing talking to Jim, I saw this screen flickering while you were tuning your shooting.

At that point, we had considered doing multiple target tracking, but simply not had time to implement it. Our good showing at West Mich. made us think it wasn't necessary.

After seeing that screen and having a nightmare at Troy, we spent a week developing a system that would lock on to various combinations of targets in this order of preference:
  1. All 4
  2. Top, Left, and Right.
  3. Bottom, Left, and Right.
  4. Top and Bottom.
  5. Left and Right.
  6. Top and Left
  7. Top and Right
  8. Bottom and Left
  9. Bottom and Right
  10. Top.
  11. Bottom.

We verified the target by first classifying them based on size (throwing out too large and too small), their height from the floor, then by angular relationships to other targets.

It worked beautifully, and was primarily finished because we knew you had already done it.

Figured you deserved the credit for pushing us to work just a little harder .
