Appendix C: Camera Setup Calculations<br />

Given: Camera horizontal field <strong>of</strong> view = 6 degrees<br />

Given: <strong>License</strong> plate character width = 1.125”<br />

Given: Camera horizontal resolution / 2 = (640 / 2) = 320 pixels<br />

Given: Minimum number <strong>of</strong> pixels a license plate character can span <strong>and</strong> still be recognized = 14<br />

Y / 320 Pixels = 1.125” / 14 Pixels<br />

Y = 25.71”<br />

Camera to vehicle distance = 25.71” / tan(6 Degrees/2) = 490.58” = 40.88’<br />

Camera Field <strong>of</strong> View Distance = 2 x Y = 2 x 25.71” = 50.42”<br />
