Abstract
This paper presents a novel person to camera distance measuring system based on eye-distance. The distance between centers of two eyes is used for measuring the person to camera distance. The variation in eye-distance (in pixels) with the changes in camera to person distance (in inches) is used to formulate the distance measuring system. The system starts with computing the distance between two eyes of a person and then person to camera distance is measured. The proposed distance measurement system is relatively simple and inexpensive to implement as it does not require any other external distance measuring tools. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the system with an average accuracy of 94.11%.
