 Well, I know that I could crash the robot into a large object with even greater precision... but if you mean what could the kids do with it... yeah, they'd probably accomplish something creative and useful! - dtengineering [more] |

Finding range
After getting the camera mounted and tracking, we are working on calculating range. I used the algorithm that Kevin posted, (Target height - camera height)/tan(tilt angle), substituting the formula for tilt angle in terminal.c.
Duee to height constraints and mounting problems, we are limited to a height difference between the target and the camera of 7 inches. Up to a distance of 200 inches, the algorithm provides sensible data, but one step farther and the distance jumps to 400 inches. Can this problem be attributed to the smallness of the height difference? Thank you, |
