Distance and Angle Measurement of Distant Objects on an Oblique Plane Based on Pixel Variation of CCD Image

Abstract

This paper presents an image-based system for measuring target objects on an oblique plane based on pixel variation of CCD images for digital cameras by referencing to two arbitrarily designated points in image frames. Based on an established relationship between the displacement of the camera movement along the photographing direction and the difference in pixel counts between reference points in the images, photographing distance between the camera and an object on the oblique target plane can be calculated via the proposed method.
