Provided are a target-object distance measuring device (50) and a vehicle (12) on which the device is mounted, wherein a human body detection device is utilized for calculating a distance between an image capturing device (16) and a human body candidate in an actual space more accurately, on the basis of the size of the human body candidate in the image. The head width is approximately 15 [cm] to 16 [cm] which is approximately the same for the people from three-years of age to 99-years of age. Using this knowledge, a body height (HT) in the actual space of the human candidate in the image is estimated on the basis of the ratio between the head-width in the extracted image and at least one size of the human body feature (for example, body height) among the human body features, such as total height, total width, etc., in the extracted human body candidate region, and the distance from the image capturing device to the human body candidate in the actual space is calculated on the basis of the estimated body height (HT) in the actual space and the body height of the human body candidate in the image. |
