I was so disappointed it doesn't actually exist...

[–]codemercenary 437 points438 points ago

I bet something like this could be written pretty easily--you would have to calibrate it, but you could estimate the distance by looking at the focus on the camera.

I might be able to put together an app like this for Android...

Edit: Looks like I'll be working on this later tonight (about 5 hours from now). I'm going to use the accelerometers, focus, and the camera to estimate distance. The only thing I'm concerned about is roll on the camera during the parallax estimation, anyone who has a solution to this problem should feel free to comment.

Edit #2: Development is underway.

[–]mra99 13 points14 points ago

I was FORCED to take a class in FORTRAN in order to graduate. FORTRAN.... really? The only thing I ever used it for was a program I wrote that would calculate the pounds of a Largemouth Bass if you punched in the length and girth. Just to even run it, I had to dial into the university mainframe and telnet to it.

[–]CardboardHeatshield 34 points35 points ago

I read that as "to calculate the pounds of a largemouth bass if you punched it in its girth"

I wasn't sure where you were going with that, but, I was intrigued...

[–]codemercenary 5 points6 points ago

I will, but only for real close distances. At long distance I'm going to use the accelerometer and a blob finder. I'm concerned about rotation, though, because it's going to be hard to find parallax if the user is tipping the phone as they move it side-to-side.

[–]NEED_A_JACKET 10 points11 points ago

Would the focus on a phone camera be anywhere near accurate enough after a short distance? I would have thought after a metre or so the focus distance would be at it's maximum?

The last time I saw OPs pic I thought about how this could work, but my idea was to work it out by moving the camera & figuring out the distance from the parallax.

[–]codemercenary 19 points20 points ago

That's a good point. Actually, parallax might be an interesting way to solve the problem...maybe some image processing is in order here to do background subtraction? Tell the operator of the camera to move it a certain fixed distance left to right, and infer the distance based on background motion?

[–]Piratiko 29 points30 points ago

I know some of these words.

[–]NEED_A_JACKET 9 points10 points ago

Maybe if you involve the accelerometer you could calculate it more accurately, you wouldnt be able to rely on the user moving it the right distance.

[–]codemercenary 6 points7 points ago

Ooooo, that's a very very good idea. An accelerometer would give you very accurate readings as long as the user isn't being a dork with the phone.

[–]bub2000 8 points9 points ago

as long as the user isn't being a dork with the phone.

You are aware of the audience of this app, right? They'd probably be mostly drunk.

[–]codemercenary 5 points6 points ago

Hm.

That is legitimately a good point. I think I'll create the un-dorked version first and then enhance it if there's sufficient demand.

[–]BlazeOrangeDeer 1 point2 points ago

Would fail if they turned the phone slightly unless the phone has a gyro

[–]codemercenary 3 points4 points ago

Another user has commented this is the case. We're going to use two points of reference instead, and try moving the camera closer/further away. Should be resilient against changes in orientation.

[–]HammerJack 4 points5 points ago

  1. take photo
  2. Have user move phone side to side
  3. Measure distance with accelerometer
  4. Take photo
  5. Produce distance from stereoscopic image.

    I've done it with two cameras before for a robot (sad when you're in highschool reading papers by NASA engineers for "hobbies")

Even some crap VGA (640x480) cameras and a microprocessor was able to render distance maps out to ~0.6m in a few minutes.

[–]half_true 8 points9 points ago

an excellent solution!! but it sounds difficult to work out. so i suggest a much easier solution: use the internal accelerometer. all you need to do is measure the amount of time the phone is in free-fall. then it's a simple math calculation, and you have your answer.

[–]bacasarus_rex 14 points15 points ago

Just use the cinderblock test.

grab a cinderblock (or some other rock thing) proceed to roof drop said object off roof if it breaks into a shitload of pieces it might not be such a good idea to jump (unless there's drunk bitchs, drunk bitchs love dudes that jump off high shit). If it break in half, adjust your jump and try to land correctly, if done correctly then you should only end up with like a broken leg or some pussy shit like that. If it only like chips or lands flat and doesn't do anything you'd better do a flip off that hoe to maximize the chance of badassness.

[–]afdlips -1 points0 points ago

Yup. The lens is designed to have almost everything in focus. Infinity is only a meter or so from the focal plane.

[–]crisss1205 1 point2 points ago

Wha may be easier, and has been done before. Is to have the user drop their credit card and then align the credit card in the camera view and then it would be able to determine distance. http://cdn.cttapp.com/JHpd

[–]codemercenary 2 points3 points ago

I don't think that's an option if you're at the top of a building.

Unless, of course, you want to jump after it.

[–]garychencool 0 points1 point ago

Apple wouldn't accept it though.

[–]CardboardHeatshield 0 points1 point ago

Yea, but once the focus is at infinity, your method doesn't work anymore.

[–]chasemedown 1 point2 points ago

potentially a huge legal liability..

[–]codemercenary 3 points4 points ago

Only if I'm getting money for the app, I think. I can include a disclaimer with the app which states that it's not suitable for any purpose.

[–]imlost19 0 points1 point ago

NLO: "App is for joke purposes only."

[–]cliveholloway 1 point2 points ago

Find two points of reference in the camera view of the ground and ask the user to wave the phone up and down. Cross reference accellerometer readings with perceived distance of these two points of reference and use this to calculate height.

edit: alternate version - user drops phone from roof, use accelerometer to calculate how long it falls for and calculate distance from that. Only downside with that would be you'd have to go down to get your phone to see the distance. Oh, and your phone would probably be fucked.

[–]codemercenary 2 points3 points ago

Best idea so far, I think I'll be implementing things this way. I can use some standard image correlation techniques to get matches.

The maximum distance resolvable, in this case, is roughly going to be d * cot(\theta), where \theta is the camera's acuity and d is the distance the camera is moved.

Do you know what typical acuities are for the Droid?

[–]cliveholloway 0 points1 point ago

Put it this way - for the last sentence above I can answer with the word "no" even if the last three words are removed.

[–]squarefrog 0 points1 point ago

Might be worth looking at the cameras hyper focal distance, because I wonder if using the cameras focus might be pointless after it shifts to infinity (which could be as little as 20 ft)

[–]codemercenary 3 points4 points ago

That's been said by others, and you're quite right. We can only make use of focus (if at all) at short distances, where it may be employed for humorous effect ("Height: 3 inches. Consequences: Mild embarrassment, depending on circumstances.") etc.

[–]tnyalc 0 points1 point ago

i will buy the shit outa that

[–]victordavion 0 points1 point ago

A few things.

Most cell phone cameras are fixed focus ( set to infinity essentially ) and the ones that do have focus use a deep focus ( wide DoF ) and so you'll reach infinity focus after about 5 feet.

Secondly, I am not 100% certain on this, but IIRC, Android SDK does not expose the focus variable of the camera ( You either, take a picture or focus, usually in the opposite order, or in some cases that's not exposed and you just "take a picture" and it does it automatically ).

I am 100% certain that iOS does not expose things like that and thus it's impossible.

As someone has mentioned, you'll probably require a 3D camera, as this would most likely provide exposed variables such as a depth estimate. ( Or would expose enough to derive it ).

Good luck to you, though!

How accurate will your depth estimate be w/o stereo? Are you going to get focus distance from an intrinsic calibration? Be advised that I have used the focus distance API in Android and it doesn't work on most phones and is inaccurate on ones that do work.

This app would be impossible because the phone doesn't know how high up you actually are. You would have to place a marker on the ground and then it could tell how far away that is by knowing it's base size, but that would defeat the purpose.

Actually the GPS unit in any smartphone also functions as a fairly accurate altimeter, so all you'd have to do is tell the phone what altitude ground level was and it could tell you how high up you were.

I've heard of an idea for an app like this, it was called "How deep is this hole". You just dropped your iPhone down the hole and it would tell you.

I have found a really easy way to tell the distance of a drop. Take a small pebble or even spit and time the fall with your phone. Do it a few times and take the average. Then plug in the time to the Mechanics equation where the distance will equal 1/2(9.8)(time2). Distance will be in meters.

You could make an app like this, using the camera and the accelerometer.

Camera takes a picture, tells you to move the phone x mm to the right or left, and takes another picture. It can then calculate distance using trig and stereo vision algorithms.

This was one of the first pictures I saw on reddit, and I am still waiting for it to happen.

Im not a doctor, but i think when they thank god, they are thanking "good 'ol doctors". I think that is correct punctuation. If not, please correct it.

Rotfl. Since I jumped from about 15feet awhile back and broke half the bones in my foot- this post has a special place in my heart.

I broke both my ankles from falling 15 feet last year. If only I'd had this to at least warn me!
