Go to Post There's a balance to it all, when the engineers guide the students, and both cooperate to build a robot. There can be no better way then when both sides are in cooperation - the true spirit of FIRST. - Jim McGeehin [more]

Re: tracking multi targets question

Quote:
The camera's hardware is only capable of tracking one target at a time. But if there are two targets in its field of view, it will perform the equivalent of drawing a "box" around both of the targets and tracking the center of that "box". The robot can determine the number of targets it is tracking based on the size of that "box."

Basically, you can tell how many targets there is by the number of pixels your camera counts, distance also affects this factor.

True, but distance would affect height and width of the box, whereas I believe two targets only primarily affects the width, so I think you could probably compensate for it fairly effectively with some basic math.
