Can Triangulation Solve My Computer Vision Problems with 2 Webcams?

AI Thread Summary
Using two webcams to measure the distance and speed of an object through triangulation requires determining the angles between each webcam and the object, as well as the distance between the webcams. For beginners, a protractor can be used to manually measure the angle if the cameras are mounted vertically and the object is on a horizontal plane. However, there is an interest in automating this process. Resources such as Wikipedia and beginner-friendly books on triangulation methods are suggested for further learning. The discussion emphasizes the need for accurate angle measurements to effectively implement the triangulation technique.

I am using 2 webcam to measure the distance and speed of an object. I am considering using triangulation methods but i am facing problems how to find the angle of each webcam to the object? Since we need 2 angle and the distance between 2 webcam to find the distance between webcam and the object.

I am a beginner on this subject, so anyone can suggest a very beginner book for me?

If your camera is mounted on something vertical and your object is on a horizontal plane, just pull out a protractor and measure the angle the camera makes with the vertical.

wiki's a good place to start

Thread 'Learning Assembly and computer architecture for x86'

Dear Peeps I have posted a few questions about programing on this sectio of the PF forum. I want to ask you veterans how you folks learn program in assembly and about computer architecture for the x86 family. In addition to finish learning C, I am also reading the book From bits to Gates to C and Beyond. In the book, it uses the mini LC3 assembly language. I also have books on assembly programming and computer architecture. The few famous ones i have are Computer Organization and...

Thread 'Learning data structures and algorithms in different programming languages'

I have a quick questions. I am going through a book on C programming on my own. Afterwards, I plan to go through something call data structures and algorithms on my own also in C. I also need to learn C++, Matlab and for personal interest Haskell. For the two topic of data structures and algorithms, I understand there are standard ones across all programming languages. After learning it through C, what would be the biggest issue when trying to implement the same data...
