Guys, I’m trying to figure out how tall this guy is. This is what I have so far:
I think his position is:
31°14'53.02" N 121°35'15.62" E
The ratio of his shadow to his height is about 86.5 pixels to 53.5 pixels.
Taking that information over to https: //planetcalc.com/1875/, it seems to check out (time zone +8)
If you assume the traffic cones are 50cm, which correlates to 21 pixels, you get a height of…4’2”. If you assume it’s 75cm, you get a height of 6’3” (with shoes, and possibly headwear). You also have to take into account that the traffic cone is slightly closer…so I’d venture a guess of 6’1 to 6’3.
If it helps, the distance from camera is, maybe ~178 meters (on the ground). I have no idea what height the picture is taken at, but I’m guessing near the top of the building to the SW of the Shanghai tower.
I’ve got things to do–enough "saving the world" for one day…so I thought I’d let someone take over or fix errors, if they like.
Picture blown up, obviously. And up is North in the map screencap.
