Abstract
A method for determining a distance between two spatial points, thus between a first point and a second point, includes recording a first picture from a first viewing point, wherein the first picture includes a reference object and the first point, recording a second picture for a second viewing point, wherein the second picture includes the reference object and the second point and wherein the second viewing point is different than the first viewing point and finally determining the distance between the first point and the second point from picture data of the first picture and picture data of the second picture using a known dimension of the reference object. Thereby, the first point and/or the second point can be arranged outside a plane encompassing the reference object.
