The $200 CV camera is a global shutter camera with a an advertized 40° diagonal field of view (FOV) 8mm rectilinear lens (smallest FOV available).

...

  • Resolution: WUXGA (1920px x 1200px)

  • Maximum frame rate: 100FPS (5FPS typical)

  • Exposure: Automatic or manual

    • Default is automatic and is very aggressive in reducing exposure (images appear dark)

  • Lens: 8mm rectilinear (40° FOV)

  • Connector: USB-A, USB 2.0 plug and play

...

For 8mm lens ordered with sensor:

  • Horizontal FOV: ~37.178° = ~0.64889rad

  • Vertical FOV: ~23.742° = ~0.41438rad

Exact measurements below.

Note: There is some distortion in the lens (i.e. straight lines in the world appear slightly curved outwards).

...

Measurement

Print and place square grid paper on flat surface.

...

  1. Follow steps 1-3 of horizontal field of view

  2. Multiply by ratio correction:

    1. Correction = Vertical resolution / Horizontal resolution

  3. Follow steps 4-5 of horizontal field of view

...

Combined:

Code Block
~37.178° = ~0.64889rad = arctan(18 * (13 / 23) / 2 / 15.125) * 2
~23.742° = ~0.41438rad = arctan(18 * (13 / 23) / 2 / 15.125 * (10 / 16)) * 2
