I would like to get some profesional advice from you all on how to calculate an object distance from camera using the image captured from webcam. I will be using Matlab to produce the result.
Distance measurement using webcam without using laser point
May I know anyway for me to measure an object distance from webcam without applying laser point? I am currently trying to work this out using MATLAB software.
Bassa..The question isn't same..but thanks for your reply..
Klystron, I have no algorithm..My project is to detect obstacles helping blind people to navigate..I am thinking using laser might point to other people eyes..not so useful..
A camera does not provide range data , it provides angle data in azimuth and elevation
If you can pick up a know scaled object, you can with trigonometry scale all other objects.
Submarines use TMA (Time Motion Analysis ; by moving to a new observation point and re-taking the bearing only data
