I’m wondering what the minimum working distance for the Kinect is.
I’d like to track a moving object (10cm x 10cm) from a distance of 1m. The area that the object will be moving in, is 120cm x 60cm.
Given Kinect’s specs, will it be possible to track the object across the entire area?
wikipedia says:
so the answer to your question would be: no, 120cm would be too wide. Since the maximum horizontal viewing field at 1m would be tan(57deg/2)*2 = ~1.08m
though at a distance of ~1.2m it should work (tan(57deg/2)*2*1.2 = ~1.3m)
