Definitely. The code here assumes that the vehicle's vector is perpendicular to the optical axis. If you had enough information to calculate the vector it would just be a little extra trig to measure the relative speed minus the offset of your vehicle's instantaneous speed. This is easy for side to side movement, a little harder in the depth direction - though you could get some depth info by comparing the size of the car contour at two or more snapshots (smaller indicating that it's moving away). The framerate/resolution of the RasPi setup probably wouldn't make it a good choice for this though.
- rubyfan 10y agoSo you definitely need to know your own speed to calculate relative speed of other drivers? I have a dumb dash cam that's just awesome for video but is nothing more than video to a sd card, ie, not a computer. I've always wondered if I could use just the video using familiar objects like stop signs, mile markers or lane markers to determine my own speed.
