I don't mean to be a downer, but this isn't really novel. If you know the size of the object you are looking for, you know you can reliably find it in an image, and you understand your imaging device, then determining its distance from the sensor is extremely straightforward.
- DanBC 12y agoThis tutorial blog posts acknowledges that. > in general, determining the distance from a camera to a marker is actually a very well studied problem in the computer vision/image processing space.
- zionsrogue 12y agoAgreed, it's certainly not novel. Although I personally find it interesting to see the source code behind these solutions and how the pieces are glued together.
- hellbanner 12y agoStraightforward, yes. Straightforward enough to write a blog post explaining step by step for someone new to the field.
- EpicEng 12y agoI suppose my point was that there is no shortage of information on the method either. For example, searching for "how to measure distance from camera" yields many results detailing the same method. Anyway, it doesn't really matter, it's a well written post, just nothing terribly interesting or new.
