Stereo type distance recognition apparatus and method

1. A stereo type distance recognition apparatus, comprising: a plurality of sensors to generate a plurality of infrared (IR) signals;a communication unit to transmit the generated IR signals to an object; anda processor to compute a distance from the object, based on signals reflected from the object by the IR signals, the reflected signals comprising a first signal and a second signal,wherein the processor is configured to compare a magnitude of the first signal and a magnitude of the second signal, and to compute the distance using a signal having a relatively high magnitude between the first signal and the second signal, based on a result of the comparison.
