Well what your looking at is in simple terms a Pythagorean theorem problem a^2 + b^2 = c^2. However when it comes to camera based applications things are not very easy to accurately determine. You have found half of the detail you need for "a" however finding "b" or "c" is much harder.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
