Re: Full Court Target Detection
If you are not testing with an LED ring around your camera lens, make sure the light source you are using is right next to the camera. The reflected light is extremely directional and even a few inches away from the camera can make a difference. We initially tested with a separate light about 10 inches to the side, then moved it right next to the camera and the difference was dramatic. Full field target recognition is crystal clear.
