Hi VT,
I appreciate your feedback.
Referring back to my Post 203 I addressed this topic:
Following the instructions in that post, we imported Topo graphical KML files. The source is coming from Land ID (former MapRight). This is the most accurate method I have found up to now, maybe there are more accurate Topo graphical maps out there. I would be glad to receive some feedback on this subject.
My opinion is as follows: Not knowing exactly where the camera is standing in space, the fact that camaras use wide angles, it is not possible to make accurate analyses from videos and photos, unless you are perfectly vertical or horizontal.
I agree, however we have a document for each number. For example we can’t put Trumps height from 6’ 2” to 7’ 2”. Looking at the vertical positions there are very few data points that we can play with. If somebody would come with another Topographical Map that contradicts our data or if we find out the accuracy of Land ID is +/- 2 feet, then I would be willing to doubt our calculation. If somebody can provide any information on this topic, they are welcome.
However, we have all been concentrating on the vertical position of which the error offset is smaller and some unknown factors. The biggest offset is in the horizontal position namely 9 feet with very few parameters to play with.
I would like to keep the animation as is until somebody comes with a document that disproves the numbers. Once it is disproved, I will change my model, and we can simulate it again. This is how we have been proceeding for weeks and we have became more and more accurate. Last thing I would like to mention, the updated Excel data sheet, we put the benefit of the doubt and took all favorable numbers to get as high as possible. This should also be taken into consideration….
Together we are strong…
