Abstract

This paper proposes a novel approach to measure the object size using a regular digital camera. Nowadays, the remote object-size measurement is very crucial to many multimedia applications. Our proposed computer-aided automatic object-size measurement technique is based on a new depth-information extraction (range finding) scheme using a regular digital camera. The conventional range finders are often carried out using the passive method such as stereo cameras or the active method such as ultrasonic and infrared equipment. They either require the cumbersome set-up or deal with point targets only. The proposed approach requires only a digital camera with certain image processing techniques and relies on the basic principles of visible light. Experiments are conducted to evaluate the performance of our proposed new object-size measurement mechanism. The average error-percentage of this method is below 2%. It demonstrates the striking effectiveness of our proposed new method.
