FLIR Lepton field of view

Folks,

I need to track the position of a person/group of people at night for a Halloween prop. What’s the size of the field of view of this camera (3’ of so from the lens), do you think that this is a suitable application and/or do you have any other suggestions?

You’d need a bit of geometry to calculate this, but the field of view out of the lens for these is 50°.

Hope this helps!

thank you, is it 50 vertical too?

and what is the focal distance? might one “fly” this on a drone?

thanks again. C

Here’s a link to the data sheet for the camera we carry:

If that doesn’t answer your questions, [FLiR might be able to help since they are the ones that manufacture this part.

I don’t see any reason why you couldn’t put one of these on a drone though since they are small and light weight but you’d need to try it to verify it works OK.](https://www.flir.com/)

The field of view is approximately 50 degrees.

Build from this.
