This comment is OT, irrelevant and only about myself...

I found the appreciation of classical music instinctive and immediate as soon as I started 
listening to it (in my mid to late teens -- I'm now 77).  OTH, I still don't care for opera...  ;-)

Given the first, and the aircraft data, you would need to compute the
rays (azimuth/elevation) from camera to each target and map those to pixels
in the image... a lot of spherical trigonometry there...

(satellite based, but may be applicable; do a search for convert lat long

Hum not so simple I was thinking :-)
I think I'll have some hours of reading in internet...

Thank you for the seed

Sort of Augmented Reality

2015-01-29 Thread franssoa

Hello,

(please excuse my english as is not my primary language)

- I own a webcam that take a picture of outside of my house once per minute.
- With a DVB sticker, I know the latitude, longitude and altitude of the
planes in my area.

I would like to print the data of the planes visibles on the pictures
taken by the webcam, like my sky view from program planeplotter [1].

Does anybody know what kind of tools/library I can use, in Python as is
the language I know the best.
Last thing : I'm a dumb in math...

   Yet math is the main factor needed as you will need to know:

Saw this somewhere:

There are two Great Sins in the world - the Sin of Ignorance, 
and the Sin of Stupidity. Only the former may be overcome.

Is 'dumb' in the first or second category??
Your call...

Like smelly cheese and classical music, math is an acquired taste.
