@MvonRen @kyle_ferriter @liteshaper2 @ChatGPT ah you're right. It is indeed RPOINT with flashing square - indicating that tracking of the object is about to stop and RATE G is about to take over and attempt to stabilise the camera on a ground point.

So explain to me again how tracking doesn't stop?

[𝔽𝕝𝕒𝕣𝕜𝕖𝕪 @flarkey]

@MvonRen @kyle_ferriter @liteshaper2 Mate, just type it into @ChatGPT and post the screenshot🤣

The answer is that RPOINT tracks features in the image like bright pixels , but RATE G uses the gyros to keep the camera fixed on a point on the ground. The flashing square means the image tracking has stopped👍

@MvonRen @kyle_ferriter @liteshaper2 Oops, Marik - you forgot to answer the question....!

Try again....

@MvonRen @liteshaper2 @kyle_ferriter "tracking does *not* stop."

Ok, so please explain to me what the three OSD modes that we see are:

1. RPOINT
2. RATE G with flashing square.
3. RATE G

For a bonus point - Which of those modes tracks features in the scene (pixels) and which one fixes on ground reference point?

@MvonRen @liteshaper2 @kyle_ferriter Absolutely! that is true if the camera is stationary and the object is moving, but that's not what is happening here.

Imagine the camera is moving fast (eg on a drone) and is tracking a slow moving object (eg a balloon). What would we see in that scenario when tracking stops?

[𝔽𝕝𝕒𝕣𝕜𝕖𝕪 @flarkey]

@liteshaper2 @MvonRen @kyle_ferriter nope. it strongly suggests independent platform movement (forward flight!) and changes in camera Az/El tracking (which is exactly what we see on the On Screen Display) of a slow moving small object much closer to the camera than the background.

[𝔽𝕝𝕒𝕣𝕜𝕖𝕪 @flarkey]

@MvonRen @kyle_ferriter Hmm, interesting. However, if you look closely- the blur from the object descends a little, which is what we'd expect to see (due to parallax) if the object was close & in front of a distant background & the camera was moving upwards.

Nice catch! It all fits with parallax.🎯

@atetoomuch69 @Funkadelick2 @planethunter56 sorry @atetoomuch69 - there is no link. @Funkadelick2 likes to pretend that I've debunked everything when I clearly haven't. He's trying to make a point about something I have never said.

[𝔽𝕝𝕒𝕣𝕜𝕖𝕪 @flarkey]

@atetoomuch69 @Funkadelick2 @planethunter56 yeah @Funkadelick2 , got a link....?

[𝔽𝕝𝕒𝕣𝕜𝕖𝕪 @flarkey]

@MvonRen @kyle_ferriter I blocked you because you refuse to understand.

Simple question = simple answer:

The object moves out of frame to the right because of the movement of the platform to the left (west) & the effect of parallax.

The background moves because of where the camera is pointing.

@KCegj4491 @MvonRen @MickWest @GoodTroubleShow @kyle_ferriter the motion backwards and up is because the auto lock has stopped but the camera continues to move for ~3secs in the same direction and speed hoping to reacquire lock. When this stops is the moment that the object zips off.

[𝔽𝕝𝕒𝕣𝕜𝕖𝕪 @flarkey]

@KCegj4491 @MvonRen @MickWest @GoodTroubleShow @kyle_ferriter this shows exactly what is happening at the "zip off" point

[𝔽𝕝𝕒𝕣𝕜𝕖𝕪 @flarkey]

@KCegj4491 @MvonRen @MickWest @GoodTroubleShow @kyle_ferriter the camera doesn't actually stop - it's on a fixed wing platform that is flying forwards 🛩️ if it stops it will fall out of the sky

However, at the 0:17 point the camera points at one spot for a while giving the appearance of stopping but it is still moving forwards.

[𝔽𝕝𝕒𝕣𝕜𝕖𝕪 @flarkey]

@LegacyProgramVP @kyle_ferriter @ZaineMichael1 @MickWest yeah that works, but I think it runs deeper than that. He's epistemically closed-minded due to an ontologically protective confirmation bias.

[𝔽𝕝𝕒𝕣𝕜𝕖𝕪 @flarkey]

@LegacyProgramVP @MvonRen @kyle_ferriter @ZaineMichael1 @MickWest @thecholla I wouldn't say he's an idiot but he does seem to have difficulty in understanding simple arguments (parallax) or accepting valid criticism from others. He seems to think that acceptance of someone else's point is a personal failure. I can see why he's popular with UFOfans.

THIS GUY LIVES UNDER SFO'S TAKEOFF PATH SO HE BUILT A CEILING PROJECTOR THAT TRACKS EVERY PLANE FLYING OVER HIS HOUSE IN REAL TIME

he uses a cheap $30 radio receiver to pick up the signals that planes broadcast while flying.

then projects them onto his ceiling in real time

when a jet flies over his house you hear it outside and at the exact same moment a plane glides across his ceiling labeled with the airline, aircraft type, and destination

pure black background so the projector's rectangle disappears and only the aircraft are visible

but he didn't stop at planes

it also draws the real sky behind them. sun, moon, bright stars, constellations, and live satellites including the ISS. all at their true positions for his exact location and time in real time

so he's lying in bed watching the actual night sky projected onto his ceiling with real planes crossing through it as they take off from SFO

there is a huge market for every man alive that runs outside to see the helicopter

vibe coded the whole thing himself with a cheap radio, a projector, and some clever software

@MvonRen @MickWest @GoodTroubleShow @kyle_ferriter lol This conversation has been an entire waste of time Marik. Your inability to accept that the camera is moving & therefore objects on the LoS will appear to move with respect to the background due to the parallax effect is astonishing.

You should read a book on it.

[𝔽𝕝𝕒𝕣𝕜𝕖𝕪 @flarkey]

@MvonRen @MickWest @GoodTroubleShow @kyle_ferriter 🤦🏻

[𝔽𝕝𝕒𝕣𝕜𝕖𝕪 @flarkey]

@MvonRen @MickWest @GoodTroubleShow @kyle_ferriter Er... not a shred of evidence?🤦🏻

It's not difficult to understand...

📷The camera is moving. ⚪Objects on the LoS will appear to move WRT the background.
🎯When tracking stops suddenly the platform / camera movement to the left causes the zip to the right.
