2. Design Issues Cameras Parallel To Horizon Bit-width of RS232 Data
Red Filter
Operating Conditions

3. Level Cameras Impossible to know if cameras are level with horizon.
Use digital level to automatically adjust to correct coordinates or to alert user that apparatus is not level.

4. Bit-width of Data One byte per coordinate sent on RS232
255 possible coordinate values
Limits resolution of depth (Z) coordinate to 2.82 inches at any distance if max depth is set to 60 feet
At desired 0.09 inch coordinate accuracy, range is inches

5. Bit-width of Data (cont…)
Limits ability to expand to high resolution cameras in the future.

6. Operation Conditions
Need to completely specify what conditions the apparatus is guaranteed to work in.
No sunlight
No brightly illuminated areas
Laser on light colored surfaces
Range Limitations
