How Camera Distance Calculation Works

This calculator uses the principle of perspective projection in computer vision. The formula calculates distance based on the relationship between an object’s actual size, its apparent size in pixels, and the camera’s field of view (FOV).

Calculation Formula

Distance = (Real Object Height × Image Width) / (2 × Perceived Pixel Height × tan(FOV/2))

Common Camera FOV Values
Phone Model Horizontal FOV Typical Image Width
Google Pixel 7 65° 4032px
Samsung Galaxy S23 63° 4000px
OnePlus 11 68° 4096px

Factors Affecting Measurement Accuracy

  • Camera lens distortion
  • Object alignment in frame
  • Precision of FOV values
  • Measurement of pixel height
  • Camera sensor size
  • Object orientation

FAQ

How accurate is this calculation?

Accuracy depends on precise FOV values and proper object measurement. Typical error margins range 5-15% in ideal conditions.

Can I use this for vertical measurements?

Yes, but ensure you’re using vertical FOV instead of horizontal FOV in the calculation.
