    Stereoscopic rangefinder atop the bridge of the German cruiser Admiral Graf Spee Portable stereoscopic rangefinder with binoculars from WWII. A stereoscopic rangefinder or stereoscopic telemeter [1] is an optical device that measures distance from the observer to a target, using the observer's capability of binocular vision.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ROBLOX

    Roblox occasionally hosts real-life and virtual events. They have in the past hosted events such as BloxCon, which was a convention for ordinary players on the platform. [46] Roblox operates annual Easter egg hunts [52] and also hosts an annual event called the "Bloxy Awards", an awards ceremony that also functions as a fundraiser. The 2020 ...

  4. Coincidence rangefinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coincidence_rangefinder

    Coincidence rangefinders were important elements of fire control systems for long-range naval guns and land-based coastal artillery circa 1890–1960. They were also used in rangefinder cameras . A stereoscopic rangefinder looks similar, but has two eyepieces and uses a different principle, based on binocular vision .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stadiametric_rangefinding

    The approximate range of an object one foot (30.48 cm) in height covering roughly 100 milliradians is 10 feet (3.048 m) or: Range (r) = approximate height of object (h) × (1000 ÷ aperture in milliradians (a)) r = h(1000/a) → where r and h are identical units, and a is in milliradians.

  6. Depression range finder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depression_range_finder

    A depression position finder measured the range to a distant target (such as a ship) by solving a right triangle in which the short side was the height of the instrument above mean low water; one angle was the constant right angle between the short side and the plane of the ocean, and the second angle was the depression angle from the horizontal of the instrument as it sighted down from a fire ...

  8. Laser rangefinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_rangefinder

    A long-range laser rangefinder is capable of measuring distance up to 20 km; mounted on a tripod with an angular mount. The resulting system also provides azimuth and elevation measurements. A laser rangefinder, also known as a laser telemeter, is a rangefinder that uses a laser beam to determine the distance to an object.

  9. Height finder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Height_finder

    A height finder radar is a type of 2-dimensional radar that measures altitude of a target. The operator slews the antenna toward a desired bearing , identifies a target echo at a desired range on the range height indicator display, then bisects the target with a cursor that is scaled to indicate the approximate altitude of the target.
