Choice of the lens
You can calculate further parameters using the following formula (the focal length with the given
object distance, or with the given focal length the object distance):
Figure 4 Focal length formula
f = g * B / (G + B)
If the size of the sensor (B), the size of the object (G), and the object distance (g) are known, you
can calculate the needed focal length.
For a rough calculation a swift procedure is enough. If the object distance is noticeably larger than
the focal length, you will have the image scale immediately.
f / g = B / G #
