Good to know
- Focal length = sensor width × distance ÷ field of view width.
- PPF (pixels per foot) tells you how much detail you get — more is better for identification.
- As a rough guide: 25 PPF for detection, 60 PPF for recognition, 120+ PPF for identification.
- A shorter focal length gives a wider view; a longer focal length covers more distance.
