Re: Turrets and cameras

1712 used the given calibration time during Lunch on Thursday to work with the NI representative at DC to calibrate our camera. I don't know the specifics on the settings (was working on other items at the time), but we managed to get our tracking code working succesfully.
We would sometimes lose targets at a longer range, but that may have been due to their movement and the presence of multiple targets (when we lost a target, we would almost always lock onto another almost immediately) in the camera's vision.
We did notice some difference between when the camera was aimed at the black curtain background and when it was aimed anywhere else. It wasn't a massive difference, but it may be enough at some venues to impact your results.
