Can Triangulation Solve My Computer Vision Problems with 2 Webcams?

[ngkamsengpeter]

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.
