Re: CMUcam Results!

Our previous testing had resulted in a distance of about 20ft, because we had put a threshold of 10 pixels to track due to earlier interference. We have now tuned the parameters and decided to try again.

We got a maximum distance of about 92ft today, in a fairly well lit hallway with the standard system. It would see 1 pixel, or 2-3 if placed on the floor (enlargement due to reflection). At this distance, the camera had a hard time tracking, but would re-lock on if it lost the light. In later testing with the light properly mounted on a goal, we saw about 6 pixels from a distance of 27 feet (half of the field).
