Abstract:
Provided is an apparatus for measuring a distance change, the apparatus including an information acquisition unit, an object determination unit, a feature point determination unit, an optical flow calculator, a matching point determination unit, an object length change calculator that calculates a length change ratio between an object of a first frame image and an object of a second frame image by using a feature point and a matching point, and a distance change calculator that calculates a change from a distance between a camera and the object from when the camera acquires the first frame image and when the camera acquires the second frame image using the calculated length change ratio.
