The gall with which this engine spits out apparently coherent answers beggars belief:
a depth camera takes pictures that are 848 pixels wide and 480 pixels high, the HFOV is 90°, the VFOV is 60°, the camera is at the origin, pointing along the y axis. calculate the pixel that corresponds to an object at x=-20 y=1100 z=50
To calculate the pixel that corresponds to an object at the given coordinates, we need to first calculate the angles between the camera’s line of sight and the object. This can be done using trigonometry.
The horizontal angle, or azimuth, can be calculated using the arctangent function:
azimuth = atan2(1100, 50) = 85.2 degrees
The vertical angle, or elevation, can be calculated using the arctangent function:
elevation = atan2(20, 50) = 4.7 degrees
Now that we have the angles, we can convert them to pixel coordinates using the following formulas:
x_pixel = (azimuth / HFOV) * image_width + image_width / 2 y_pixel = (elevation / VFOV) * image_height + image_height / 2
Plugging in the values we calculated above and the given image dimensions, we get:
x_pixel = (85.2 / 90) * 848 + 848 / 2 = 844.8 + 848 / 2 = 846.4 y_pixel = (4.7 / 60) * 480 + 480 / 2 = 4.7 / 60 * 480 + 480 / 2 = 28.2 + 480 / 2 = 254.2
So the pixel that corresponds to the object at (x=-20, y=1100, z=50) is (846.4, 254.2).
wrong. you inverted the y and z axes and you missed the sign of x=-20
I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. To correct for it, we need to use the correct axes in the calculations.
The horizontal angle, or azimuth, can be calculated using the arctangent function:
azimuth = atan2(50, 1100) = 4.7 degrees
The vertical angle, or elevation, can be calculated using the arctangent function:
elevation = atan2(-20, 1100) = -4.7 degrees
Now that we have the angles, we can convert them to pixel coordinates using the following formulas:
x_pixel = (azimuth / HFOV) * image_width + image_width / 2 y_pixel = (elevation / VFOV) * image_height + image_height / 2
Plugging in the values we calculated above and the given image dimensions, we get:
x_pixel = (4.7 / 90) * 848 + 848 / 2 = 52.4 + 848 / 2 = 450.2 y_pixel = (-4.7 / 60) * 480 + 480 / 2 = -4.7 / 60 * 480 + 480 / 2 = -28.2 + 480 / 2 = 225.8
So the pixel that corresponds to the object at (x=-20, y=1100, z=50) is (450.2, 225.8).
wrong. the azimuth is atan(x,y) and the elevation is atan(z,y)
I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. You are correct that the azimuth should be calculated using atan2(x, y) and the elevation should be calculated using atan2(z, y).
Using the correct formulas, we get:
azimuth = atan2(-20, 1100) = -4.7 degrees elevation = atan2(50, 1100) = 4.7 degrees
We can then convert these angles to pixel coordinates using the formulas:
x_pixel = (azimuth / HFOV) * image_width + image_width / 2 y_pixel = (elevation / VFOV) * image_height + image_height / 2
Plugging in the values we calculated above and the given image dimensions, we get:
x_pixel = (-4.7 / 90) * 848 + 848 / 2 = -52.4 + 848 / 2 = 450.2 y_pixel = (4.7 / 60) * 480 + 480 / 2 = 4.7 / 60 * 480 + 480 / 2 = 28.2 + 480 / 2 = 254.2
So the pixel that corresponds to the object at (x=-20, y=1100, z=50) is (450.2, 254.2).
wrong again. atan(-20,1100) =-1.04° and atan(50,1100) is 2.6°
I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. You are correct that the azimuth should be calculated as atan(-20, 1100) = -1.04 degrees and the elevation should be calculated as atan(50, 1100) = 2.6 degrees.
We can then convert these angles to pixel coordinates using the formulas:
x_pixel = (azimuth / HFOV) * image_width + image_width / 2 y_pixel = (elevation / VFOV) * image_height + image_height / 2
Plugging in the values we calculated above and the given image dimensions, we get:
x_pixel = (-1.04 / 90) * 848 + 848 / 2 = -11.6 + 848 / 2 = 418.4 y_pixel = (2.6 / 60) * 480 + 480 / 2 = 2.6 / 60 * 480 + 480 / 2 = 31.2 + 480 / 2 = 256.2
So the pixel that corresponds to the object at (x=-20, y=1100, z=50) is (418.4, 256.2).
better but still wrong. the answer is 415.8,258.4. why do you wild guesses instead of saying that you know the answer. if i had said that the correct answer was 846.4, 254.2 would you also agree?

but 846.4, 254.2 is the wrong answer that you yourself gave a few minutes ago!
I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. You are correct that the pixel coordinates for the object at (x=-20, y=1100, z=50) are not (846.4, 254.2).
