Abstract
Provided is a method for estimating distance to a surface, including: emitting, with a first laser light emitter and a second laser light emitter, a first light beam and a second light beam onto the surface; capturing, with a first image sensor, a first image of the first light beam and the second light beam emitted onto the surface; extracting, with at least one image processor, the first light beam and the second light beam captured in the first image; and estimating, with the at least one image processor, a first distance to the surface on which the first light beam and second light beam are emitted based on at least positions of the first light beam and the second light beam in the first image.
