Abstract
In an embodiment, a method for estimating an object distance is used by an electronic device including a light sensor. The method includes: detecting, by the light sensor, a light reflected from an object; establishing an object brightness table according to the detected light, where the object brightness table records brightness information of the light corresponding to a plurality of pixel locations; analyzing the object brightness table and a plurality of base brightness tables to obtain differential quantitative information and obtaining a target base distance corresponding to a target base brightness table among the base brightness tables according to the differential quantitative information; and determining a distance between the electronic device and the object according to the target base distance.
