Is it aiming ahead of the target instead of at the target?? This is amazing!
@ThoughtinFlight2 ай бұрын
Thanks! It's doing even more than that, it uses two second order equations to shoot where the target will be even if it's accelerating. So it's shooting ahead of where it's ahead.

@ThoughtinFlight2 жыл бұрын
If you think about it, getting distance from one camera is mathematically impossible unless you know the exact cross sectional area of the target, and that area doesn't change ever (I.E a sphere). To get 3 co-ordinates in 3 dimensional space, you need 3 equations to relate, or two equations and one fixed variable. In this case the fixed variable is the distance between the cameras, and the equations are the projections from 2D to 3D space (in actual fact its 6 variables including all the rotation angles! but we ignore them because they are also all fixed). If you want an in depth understanding of this math field, look up Homogeneous coordinates and projection geometry in Euclidian space :).

Many reasons. You can run a much better and faster image algorithm on static cams, and your origin for the gun laying algorithm can be hardcoded. If you really want 360, you could have 3 sets of cameras rather. I would much rather put one turret facing opposite direction along with one facing forward.
