Image- and Robot-Based Distance and Area Measuring Method

Abstract

Abstract:- The purpose of this paper is to present an innovative method to record traffic accidents by using small remote-controlled robots as the distance-measuring devices. Bluetooth wireless modules are also combined for remote control and data communication. Unlike traditional methods using a ruler or measuring tape as a distance-measuring device, this technological development allows remote-controlled robots to perform rapid distance measurement. Thus, it is possible to provide valuable data for review of traffic accidents or identification of responsibility. This measuring system offers an easy and fast solution that can be used to measure irregular distances and calculate actual area with improved accuracy.
