Revision history [back]

Hi all,

The title says it all, I have a camera mounted on a moving boat and I want to know the distance of the detected targets. Here is the scenario:

• I have the GPS information.
• I do know my velocity and direction.
• I have a single camera and an algorithm to detect the targets.
• I am moving, changing my location all the time. However the camera is mounted.
• Targets are moving, they are mostly boats sailing around.
• My camera is calibrated already.

Give these, is there a way to find how far is the detected target from me?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

  • Edit: Targets have different sizes. They could be kayaks, boats, huge container ships, sailing boats, etc.
