Abstract

An apparatus, system, method, and/or non-transitory computer readable media of a distance estimation apparatus including at least one camera includes obtaining a bounding box corresponding to a target vehicle on the basis of an image obtained through the at least one camera, obtaining a first rectilinear distance to the target vehicle, obtaining a first world width on the basis of the first rectilinear distance and a width of the bounding box, obtaining a second ratio of a region, corresponding to a rear surface of the target vehicle, of a region of the bounding box on the basis of a first ratio, and calculating a second world width of the target vehicle on the basis of the second ratio, wherein the first ratio represents a ratio of the rear surface and a side surface of the target vehicle.
