A friend of mine attempted this setup a while back and came to the
conclusion that he basically needed to be nearly perfectly perpendicular to
the object he was trying to detect. So he decided this was way to

sumo ring). So this may be an issue for you as well.
However, if as you have found success by tweaking your code, I would be
interested in seeing it if you care to share.
