A quick test to verify the view angle for the Raspberry Pi camera.

We need a camera in our project to perform computer vision and other typical AI functionality.  Git hub link with full information here.

Technical Parameters

The eLinux Wiki provides the technical information about the camera, including the Angle of View: 62.2 x 48.8 degrees.

Emperical Results

By measuring the distance between the camera and the calibrated target, we determined that the camera has a view angle of ~45 degrees, which is close enough to verify the 48.8 degrees in the spec.
