About a Formula

[Antoniofer]

I wonder if someone can give the outlook formula (not sure if that is the english name): I mean, when there is an object/person and far away there is another, both objects/persons not necesary are in the same ground level, and I want to foind the distance between both objects/persons. Also, is possible the calculate the distance even if there more than one object/person with respect to the other?

degrees = 2atan(tan(70/2)*(object height (in pixels)/screen height (in pixels)))

You will need to know:

Actual height of object 1 in foreground

Actual height of object 2 in background

Apply equation to both by finding their pixels and plug into the online angsize calculator for distance.

http://www.1728.org/angsize.htm

The difference between the two results is the distance between the two objects.

Thank you very much, Alak

Is this explained in the Calculations and Calculation Guide pages? If not, it would probably be good to add it.

Nope, doesn't look like it. I might be overlooking it but from what i skimmed through, there;s no mention of an "overlook" formula.

 

[Antvasima]

Well, in that case, would you be willing to add it (including the angsize calculator link) at an appropriate spot in one of the pages, Alakabamm?

 

[Alakabamm]

Yes, although it is just an application of angsizing tbh

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. Perhaps you could check if the angsizing section needs to be slightly expanded then?

Which of the two pages should I temporarily unlock?

Okay. Will do.

 

[Alakabamm]

Okay, I fixed it

Thank you for the help.
