Measuring Distance and Orientation Using Camera and Lasers
Measuring Distance and Orientation Using Camera and Lasers
Distance to an object can be measured with a single camera and a laser, if the laser position relative to the camera is known. Usually the laser is pointed in the same direction as the camera and mounted a known distance from the camera. By dragging the locator, you can choose the orientation of the brown cuboid and two red lasers mounted units to the left and right of a camera, which has a focal length . These lasers can measure the distance to the cuboid, as shown by the reticule on the camera image. The cuboid's angle can be computed from two distance measurements.
