We made an incorrect assumption that the image aspect ratio that the utilities used was the same as the CMUcam2 analysis. As it turns out it, the utilities don't display the decimated data of the CMUcam2 and thus represent the aspect ratio of the imaging module (640x480) rather than the CMUcam2 module (160x240).

Thanks for the support.

Because the data is decimated in the horizontal axis, the aspext ratio is off by a factor of two. This would not look correct when looking at it. In the LabVIEW application, for instance, each pixel is duplicated in the horizontal axis. This makes the resolution appear to be 320x239, when the raw data is actually 160x239.

I'm not aware of an application that displays it at 640x480.

Cheers!
