ABSTRACT:
A distance measuring apparatus of the invention includes an arithmetic operation device which uses the degree of shift detected when the distance to a reference object is measured and a known distance to the reference object, to determine the difference between the offsets of image-forming positions on optical sensor arrays caused by a windshield present between a measuring object and the optical sensor arrays. The arithmetic operation device uses the difference between the offsets of the image-forming positions, an optical characteristic amount of the image-forming lenses, and the amount of shift detected when the distance to the measuring object is measured, to determine the distance to the measuring object.
