Abstract
An image capturing device includes at least two image sensors and an image processing unit that performs image processing on image information that is captured by image sensors and an image display unit that displays the image information on which the image processing is performed by the image processing unit. The image processing unit displays two base points on the image display unit in a same direction as a direction in which the two image sensors are arranged, calculates a disparity value between a first base point and a second base point that are the two base points with the two image sensors, calculates a length between the first base point and the second base point, and displays a result of calculation of the length between the first base point and the second base point on the image display unit. The image capturing device realizes distance measurement which allows a user to know a length of an object in real time by a simple operation, is easy to use, and satisfies the user and enables an accuracy improvement of a calculated length.
