Detecting speed of a car from two images

02910

Introduction

This article is intended for both beginners and experts in Computer Vision. I hope this post does CV justice 🙏🏾 .

Problem

We already have motion sensors in play that does this sort of thing easily, but if we want to use computer vision, things get tricky. How to get the speed from just pictures may seem impossible at first but after reading this, hopefully things get better.

Approach

To do this we need to follow the following steps

  • Feed the two images to our application – obviously 😂
  • Get the difference between the two images
  • Calculate the 🚗💨 from the image difference

Sounds pretty easy right? Lemme take you on a 🎢

Feed The Images To Our Application

We are using the default Buffered Image class provided by JAVA to read in the files with their paths specified.

BufferedImage image1 = ImageIO.read(new File(img1));
BufferedImage image2 = ImageIO.read(new File(img2));

Image Subtraction To Get The Difference

Now that we have our two images, we then perform Image Subtraction. You may be wondering what image subtraction is.
Images are pretty much an array of many pixel values that have been combined together.
Image Subtraction in the simplest of terms is Finding the difference between every pixel in an image and the corresponding pixel in another image. To perform image subtraction, both images need to have the same resolution (since we are subtracting every pixel in one from the other).
When we subtract the image, we set a threshold and set any pixel value higher than the threshold to BLACK, and pixel values lower than the threshold to WHITE ( We are doing this because we want to see the cars in black after subtracting the images )

Speed Calculation From Image Difference

Now that we have the difference visualized, its time for the “fun” part 🕺🏾. Getting the speed from the image. To this, we applied some fun logic
Disclaimer : There may be a better way to implement this, but I was gunning for the method most easy to explain

We run through the “difference” image and then pick the first BLACK pixel you find and then save it. Then we run through the “difference” image again and then pick the last BLACK pixel we find.

Now some assumptions will have to be made

  • Time passed between the first and second picture say 5s
  • Assumed Magnification of the camera used to take the pictures
  • Length of the car in millimeters (say 6000mm)

Once these assumptions have been made, we then covert the length of the car to pixels to make life easier and then get the distance moved,
distance_moved = Math.abs(x2 - x1) - car_length_in_px;
We subtracted the car length in pixel because the distance moved is from the front of the car.
We then solve for speed
speed = (double) distance_moved / timepassed;
