Will the accuarcy of an stereoscopic rangefinder be affected by misidentifing the target?
I just read the following sentence in Peter Lienau's article 'German Optical Rangefinders' :
Unknown to the British, stereoscopic systems also have an advantage in that they cannot be "spoofed" by changing the profiles of the target, which meant that the British wasted a great deal of effort during WWI by adding various extra details to their ships with that intent.
but i can't figure out how can the size of a target misleading the range?
thanks a lot~
