Re: Measuring distance with cameria

The vision target on the trailer is at a fixed height. Your camera will be mounted on your robot at a fixed height; make it lower than the vision target. If you measure the angle (above horizontal) that your camera is at to point at the target, you can use trig to figure out how far away you are from the target.
