Re: |Calculating Distance to targets

Assuming the image element you are measuring is the retroreflective rectangle, you need to reconsider its physical height. I believe it is 12" inside the tape plus 4" tape on each side.

As mentioned, there are other sources of error, but I suspect those will be pretty small, definitely not 2 meters of error.
