Loco Positioning with Static objects in room #1062
|
Hello, I was curious about precision of loco in a room with metal static objects. For example,
My concern is that signals might refract off of the static objects, and drastically lower the objects confidence about its position in space. |

I also just came across this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdD82JQrAyk |

so there are some metal pillars in there. |

It is very hard to predict. In my experience it usually works pretty OK also when there are some objects (like in the video) but I guess it depends on the size. The small pillars in the video did not cause any problems, in your case I'm for instance a bit concerned for the top right corner. How high are the objects? If it is full height I doubt it will work behind it. |

They vary in height from waist height to ceiling height. Is it more of a line of sight issue over a refraction issue? |
|
I think line of sight, but there is a lot of guess work in this answer :-) |

@afwilkin Hi, I am also trying to set up as shown in the video. It seems like you've already done one iteration of that. If so, could you please share the steps that I can follow to achieve the same? |

@amitx64 I have not done an iteration so far. Just planning things out. Wanted to better understand if there were any concerns for refraction. I believe it should not be a large issue as long as we have line of sight. At least, that is what I believe as of now. I am sure it will be a bit of trial and error with the environment and calibration as well |
