Abstract: Disclosed are a distance measuring method and a distance measuring apparatus. During the distance measuring, an image is obtained. If the location of a center of gravity of the image is within a first segment, the calculating unit calculates a distance between the object and the distance measuring apparatus corresponding to the projection point, according to a first mapping relationship and the location of a center of gravity of the image. If the location of a center of gravity of the image is within a second segment, the calculating unit calculates a distance between the object and the distance measuring apparatus corresponding to the projection point according to a second mapping relationship and the location of a center of gravity of the image.

Abstract: The disclosure is related to a surveillance system and an operation method thereof. The surveillance system includes an auxiliary sensor module that is in full-time operation, and a main sensor module that is in a power-saving mode at a normal state. The main sensor is in operation only if the signals generated by the auxiliary sensor module meet a criterion of surveillance. The surveillance system can reduce power consumption since the more powerful main sensor module stays in the power-saving mode without actuation. The surveillance system can process the surveillance data generated by the auxiliary sensor module since it adopts the steps of ROI detection, feature extraction, and object recognition in an early stage of a whole surveillance process.
