By using a reticle with marks of a known angular spacing, the principle of similar triangles can be used to find either the distance to objects of known size or the size of objects at a known distance. In either case, the known parameter is used, in conjunction with the angular measurement, to derive the length of the other side.
Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile is a free-to-play first-person shooter game published by Activision. It was released on March 21, 2024 for iOS and Android. Warzone Mobile is designed to bring the Warzone experience to mobile platforms, featuring the same gameplay style as the original Warzone and its 2022 successor. Players can engage in two ...
The PSO-1 pattern range-finding reticle. The bottom-left corner can be used to determine the distance from a 1.7 m tall target A 1.7 m tall person correctly ranged at 400 metres (437 yd) The PSO-1 features a reticle with "floating" elements designed for use in range estimation and bullet drop and drift compensation (see external ballistics).
Stadia marks on a crosshair while viewing a metric levelling rod.The top mark is at 1.500 m and the lower is at 1.345 m. The difference between the rod readings is 0.155 m, yielding a distance to the rod of 15.5 m.
Portable stereoscopic rangefinder from WWII The coincidence rangefinder of the Polish destroyer ORP Wicher Laser rangefinder Second World War German range finding tower at La Corbière Jersey. A rangefinder (also rangefinding telemeter, depending on the context) is a device used to measure distances to remote objects.
The observer would first use this device to measure the angular width of the target. Knowing the angular width of the target, the range to the target, and the known length of that ship class, the angle on the bow of the target can be computed using equations shown in Figure 2. Human observers were required to determine the angle on the bow.
Eyepiece image of a naval rangefinder, showing the displaced image when not yet adjusted for range. The coincidence rangefinder uses a single eyepiece. Light from the target enters the rangefinder through two windows located at either end of the instrument. At either side the incident beam is reflected to the center of the optical bar by a ...
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. It looks similar to a coincidence rangefinder, which uses different principles and has only one eyepiece. German instruments tended to use the stereoscopic ...
