Re: CMUcam test rules...

We tested out to 55 ft and tracked but we noticed our tracked blob size was 1 pixel so we're not confident that the racking is exceptional. We also noted the further away we went, the camera tilted less and less (as expected) but in an attempt to quantify it we noticed that ~45-55 feet we got the same angle feedback from the camera, so yes we could track and track consistently, so we're accurate, but the precision is not very great. We're doing some analysis to figure out where we feel we can safely determine trajectories etc...
Have fun!
