Abstract:
The procedure for calculating the distances to far removed objects using the analysis of a photograph is described, in which along with the image of the object its reflection in water is presenting. To carry out the analysis, information is required about the height of the camera above the water surface, the distance to objects in the foreground and the size of these objects. The operation of the method is demonstrated.
