Revision history [back]

Hi guys,

In the past few months, I've gotten to understand the how opencv works and how best we to detect and track a moving object with background subtraction. From the BGS I managed to get the distance of the object I am tracking as I'm using a D435 stereoscopic camera. So with the x, y in px and z in meters, how should I go about in calculating the distance of the object I'm tracking. I briefly understand it has something to do with the angle of the camera, but I'm not too well-versed in that.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I briefly understand it has something to do with that from vector calculation its sqrt( (x2 - x1) * 2 + (y2 - y1) *2 ), but how does the angle of the camera, but I'm not too well-versed in that. z depth affect this?

So with the x, y in px and z in meters, how should I go about in calculating the distance of the object I'm tracking.

I briefly understand that from vector calculation its sqrt( (x2 - x1) * ** 2 + (y2 - y1) *2 ), **2 ), but how does the z depth affect this? Would love to have the speed measurement in m/s

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
