Apparatus and method to determine a distance of a visual object captured by a remote camera
In determining a distance of an object captured by a remote camera, a controller receives an image of the object from another controller coupled to a camera over a data network. The image includes a label image of a label associated with the object. The controller determines a label dimension of the label that includes a real world size of the label and determines a label image dimension of the label image that includes a size of the label image. The controller calculates a label distance using optical characteristics of the camera, the label dimension, and the label image dimension, and announces the label distance using an output component coupled to the controller. When the controller receives a command to operate the camera input by a user, the controller sends at least one instruction to operate the camera according to the command to the other controller over the data network.
