An image-based area measurement system

A novel image-based area measurement system is proposed in this paper, we can convert the pixels of object into real area by image processes. No matter the system is vertical to the measuring plane or not and the height of system, it could calculates arbitrary two points on the image convert into the actual distance. This paper proposed a new structure for achieve our goal, there are four laser projects and camera fixed on same base, then generate four laser spots on the object or measurement plant, and assume connect each two laser spots as parallel lines, finally it could simulated a ruler in the image. Without consider photography angle for this system, it can measure area of floor or height of building.
