  • Abstract
    This paper presents a novel method that can estimate the distance of a person up to 6 meters away. The proposed approach is based on face images extracted from a video of a monocular camera through the use of the Viola-Jones approach of OpenCV to detect the faces. The results of the experiments show the practicality of this approach in calculating the distances of the subjects in the camera´s view.
