math - Polar to linear movement of a yoke -


i writing algorithm convert polar movement of mechanical yoke (pan , tilt) , linear movement between 2 points. i.e. know start , end pan & tilt values want ensure end result straight line , not arc. picture this, application light , circle of light projected wants move in straight line.

i have worked out if tilt not change between start , end points light pans across arc tilt needs deflect down towards 0 half way through movement , original value again end of movement. tilt v light pans.

the amount of maximum deflection given by:

delta = tilt_angle - ( tilt_angle x cos(half_angle_of_pan) )

my question in case of end tilt being different start? adding delta changing value tilt give same end result or calculation more complicated?

Why can rails not find a route created by a helper? -

i created member route in rails 4: resources :line_items post 'decrement', on: :member end and gave matching method in line_items controller: def decrement @cart = current_cart @line_item = @cart.line_items.find_by_id(params[:id]) @line_item.decrement_quantity respond_to |format| if @line_item.save format.html { redirect_to shop_path, notice: 'line item updated.' } format.js {@current_item = @line_item} format.json { head :ok } else format.html { render action: "edit" } format.js {@current_item = @line_item} format.json { render json: @line_item.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity } end end end but when try make button: <%= button_to 'x', decrement_line_item_path(item) %> i error: no route matches [post] "/carts/25" what gives? your error message is: no route matches [post] "/carts/25" but expectin...

opencv - DataType<cv::detail::deriv_type>::depth what is it used for -

i wondering why line used in lucas kanade tracker in opencv: datatype<cv::detail::deriv_type>::depth can explain me? in opencv, depth of mat refers type of data contained in mat 's data buffer. represented integer values correspond given data type. these integers commonly abstracted appropriate macro definition (e.g. uchar data represented macro cv_8u ). cv::datatype type-traits class provides method obtain corresponding integer value without having memorize macro means data type. there few cases user code needs use datatype::depth . more common datatype::type . a simple example shows 1 possible use of datatype::depth : cv::mat uchar_data = cv::mat::ones(3, 3, cv_8uc1); cv::mat float_data; uchar_data.convertto(float_data, cv::datatype<float>::depth); // ^^ equivalently replaced // cv_32f macro float_data.at<float>(0,1) += 0.5f; std::cout << float_data << std::endl;...
