Re: Concerns regarding the green paneling/green shirts

Take a good look at the camera documentation. You will find several things that will help you out.

1) Each object is tracked by a bounding box. This is key. Remember it. Its important. Don't forget it! A bounding box is the smallest possible box that will enclose the color object. Consider the difference in view between a person in a shirt and a vision tetra. What can the bounding box tell you?

2) The field of view of the camera isn't as wide as you would think.

3) The percieved size of a distant object is related to the sine function. A good hint: Percieved Height is sort of = Height * (1 / radius). Draw a picture, think about what sine is, and see if you can figure that one out.
