This paper describes contrive and effectuation of active distance sensing device using MATLAB (Matrix Laboratory) and GUIDE (Graphical User Interface Design Environment) software packages.Image acquisition toolbox in MATLAB acquires images through image acquisition device such as a Laptop based webcam or a digital video camera.Image processing toolbox in MATLAB processes the images, detects the desired objects and filters the noise present in the images.The program in M-file computes the distance between the desired objects.GUIDE enables user interaction with the device.Hence it acts as a distance sensor.The proposed method can be used in many large scale applications such as to find the distance between the moving cars/aircrafts with a high resolution camera and comparatively low cost with other equipments.
