Distinguishing between multiple Infra Red Transmitters I am working on an Arduino project where I use an infra red camera along with 4 transmitters placed each on a corner of a square platform to park a robot perfectly on this platform.
However, it is important for the camera to distinguish between the 4 transmitters.
(it should know the right transmitters from the left and the upper transmitters from the lower).
Can anyone please help me find a solution to this problem?
It's a symmetry problem, you can solve it breaking the simmetry.
Options:


use three transmitter instead of four, the plane and its center is
still determined.
move one transmitter in the middle of the side of the square.
use different duty cycle for one (or more) transmitter.
use linear polarizing filters on the transmitters and a rotating filter on the camera lense.
...


I guess that also SVD could be helpful to find the pattern's center, when the camera is not centered and perpendicular.
