From empirical measurements taken last year (which could very well have been incorrect), we found the camera's field of view to be approximately 55 x 35 degrees. These measurements were 'close enough' to accurately find which of the eight possible tetra locations on the floor were the two that had been randomly selected.

It would be wonderful if another team could take these measures and we can see if they line up. On Saturday, I will see if we have the spare manpower to re-do the tests, as I imagine they will be important for this year's camera system as well.
