Measurement method and apparatus

A measurement apparatus, applicable to an image acquisition device, comprising:

• an image acquisition module configured for acquiring image data to generate an image data file;
• an image processing module configured for capturing an object to be measured in an image corresponding to the image data file;
• a first measurement module configured for obtaining a first distance between a horizontal line going through a lowest point of the object to be measured in the image and a horizontal line going through a center point of the image;
• and
• a second measurement module configured for calculating a second distance between the object to be measured and the image acquisition device based on the first distance, an installation height of the image acquisition device and a pitch angle of the image acquisition device.

An image acquisition device, comprising:

• a processor, a memory, a communication interface and a bus, wherein
• the processor, the memory and the communication interface connect and communicate with each other via the bus;
• the memory is configured for storing an executable program code;
• the processor is configured for executing a program corresponding to the executable program code by reading the executable program code stored in the memory, so as to perform the operations comprising:
• acquiring image data to generate an image data file;
• capturing an object to be measured in an image corresponding to the image data file;
• obtaining a first distance between a horizontal line going through a lowest point of the object to be measured in the image and a horizontal line going through a center point of the image;
• and
• calculating a second distance between the object to be measured and the image acquisition device based on the first distance, an installation height of the image acquisition device and a pitch angle of the image acquisition device.
