[NSRCA-discussion] Could this allow automated scoring?

[Peter Vogel]

Not by itself.  Judging/Scoring is from the perspective of the pilot +
judges, not from the perspective of the plane.  (As opposed to IAC, where
it's from the perspective of the pilot in the plane).  For it to be done
right you'd need to know the precise location of the plane and the precise
location of the pilot, then calculate the geometry of the plane's movements
relative to the perspective of the pilot's location.

The SoloShot 2 automatic cameraman does close to what we want in tracking
the movement of the plane relative to a ground station, but from that you'd
still need to calculate geometries, and wings level, etc.
