Abstract:
Disclosed are a distance measuring method and a distance measuring apparatus. During the distance measuring, an image is obtained. If the location of a center of gravity of the image is within a first segment, the calculating unit calculates a distance between the object and the distance measuring apparatus corresponding to the projection point, according to a first mapping relationship and the location of a center of gravity of the image. If the location of a center of gravity of the image is within a second segment, the calculating unit calculates a distance between the object and the distance measuring apparatus corresponding to the projection point according to a second mapping relationship and the location of a center of gravity of the image.

Claim (Index 12):
A distance measuring apparatus, comprising:\n a light source unit, used to emit a light signal to an object, wherein the light signal has a pattern and the pattern has a plurality of light points and the light points form a horizontal line; an image sensing unit, used to obtain an image produced by projecting the light signal to the object, wherein the image is a horizontal line image formed by a plurality of projection light point s and the projection light points are formed by projecting the light points to the object; and a calculating unit, calculating a distance between a distance measuring apparatus and the object according to a variation of the horizontal line image; wherein the calculating unit calculates a distance between the object and the distance measuring apparatus according to a center of gravity of the image and the first mapping relationship when the center of gravity of the image is located within a first segment, and calculates a distance between the object and the distance measuring apparatus according to the center of gravity of the image and the second mapping relationship when the center of gravity of the image is located within a second segment.
