RIT will permanently shut down the RIT Wiki (Confluence wiki) on February 2, 2024. Review the Wiki Shut Down Overview for information on alternative tools, exporting content from the wiki, and other FAQs.
To find the best possible configuration of cameras, specific characteristics of the array were varied. These variations were done in the model for efficiency and so the hardware of the physical array could remain in tact. The characteristics were varied in increments based off of the prototype array so that the results could be compared. Each configuration has a video of it being run through the program.
Cameras
This configuration uses Raspberry Pi cameras in place of the Point Grey Chameleons that are in the prototype. The Raspberry Pi cameras were chosen because they are inexpensive and compatible with the array's hardware. The file is labelled RaspberryPiCams.ogv and is shown below. The Point Grey model is also shown below for comparison.
Camera Number
These configurations have a fixed width and a changing number of cameras. The files are labelled by the number of cameras in the array. There are videos for configurations with 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 24 cameras. The videos use the targets from the static validation and focus on each target's depth to show how well the cameras can see through occlusions. It has been concluded that using between 4 and 12 cameras has the best effect.
