Re: Full Court Target Detection

Good point about mounting near the camera. It is actually the angle between the source and sensor that matters. So for very distant targets, you can actually increase the distance between camera and light. The data sheet for the material will give a plot of reflected light intensity versus angle if you want to calculate how close they need to be.

The location of the processing doesn't impact the ability to detect, but it may impact how long it takes to process the image.
