Tracking kite position in real time by camera
Here is a little clip showing some basic kite tracking software that I wrote. I'm upgrading it now for improved accuracy and an orientation estimate.

Nice work. Is the idea to get 3D position by going stereo?
ReplyDeleteI worked a bit on position tracking using one onboard camera and a reference planar checkerboard on the ground.
Hi there thanks,
ReplyDeleteFrom a single camera you can get a pixel to angular position mapping if you know the shape of the lens. Then you have an angular position which is all I need, if you need 3d its easy to figure out as long as you know the length of the line.
If you have a load cell and know the wind speed you can also correct for sag.
