Video camera

Two identical video cameras are located in the forehead. They provide a 640x480 resolution at 30 frames per second. They can be used to identify objects in the visual field such as goals and balls, and bottom camera can ease NAO's dribbles.

Camera output YUV422
Field of view 58 degrees (diagonal)
Focus range 30cm ~ infinity
Focus type Fixed focus

Warning:

The conception of the head 3.3 does not warrant the angle between the 2 cameras.

Camera name X(m) Y(m) Z(m) WX(rd)[deg]* WY(rd)[deg]* WZ(rd)[deg]*
CameraTop 0.0539 0.0 0.0679 0.0 0.0 0.0

Note:

* We adopt the roll, pitch and yaw notation for angle representation. So, to construct an homogenous transform with rotation (Wx,Wy,Wz) use T=rotZ(Wz)*rotY(Wy)*rotX(Wx)
