the city block distance is the distance between two pixels. for example if we have two adjacent pixels their distance is 1 because they are adjacent. the this is used in edge detection applications
It's called city-block distance, because it is calculated as if on each pixel between your two coordinates stood a block (house) which you have to go around. That means, you can only go along the vertical or horizontal lines between the pixels but not diagonal. It's the same like the movement of the rook on a chess field.
A city block is simply the distance from one intersection (or street light) to the next and can vary in distance depending on the city.

A block is the distance from one road intersection to the next. It is not a fixed distance. This distance is often about 100 meters, but it may vary from one block to the next, and of course from one city to another. Brasilia, I have been told, has "superblocks" of about 500 meters each - 5 times the distance otherwise considered typical.Number of blocks walking is an American expression expressing distances in a city. Blocks do not have a set distance; however in New York City, the average length of a north-south block is 1/20th of a mile, or 264 feet. An east-west block is about 1/5th of a mile, or 1056 feet.
Varies by neighborhood, but average pre-1970 city blocks are about 1/20 of a mile. Walking all the way around the block? About 1/5 of a mile.
This is the approximate length of a typical block in a city, i.e., the distance from one street to the next.
