Re: Built in distance calculations?
We have found that image size works great for determining distance. I have developed a special VI that extracts the height of the target from the supplied information, then plugs that into a formula I derived by graphing a bunch of data in excel. It is accurate to 30 feet on medium resolution, within +/- 6inches, and 45ish feet on high. Accuracy only drops off only because of problems finding the target itself.
