Minimum angle calculation

1. Video resolution=1600x1200(1.9MP)
2. Still image resolution=4000x3000(12MP)
3. Effective pixel size =1.3MP for camera
4. Pixel size given in gata sheet = ¼ inch = 25.4mm
[1]​
Sizes are often expressed as a fraction of an inch, with a one in the numerator, and a decimal
number in the denominator. This "inch" system brings a result approximately 1.5 times the
length of the diagonal of the sensor.

So, the sensor horizontal width of sensor​ =



 

[1]​
5. Once we have the sensor dimensions, look at the image dimensions 
(width and height in pixels that can be found in the image metadata) 
and use the following steps to calculate the pixel size: 

Pixel dimention horizontal d​x​=


Taking the value in the "Width (mm)" column and divide it by the 
width in pixels. This is called "pixel size x". 
6. From the fourmula

Hence
