Latest version has a whiptail admin menu and is Much Faster than the Speed Tracking python script used in this video
This video and code walk through (original slower code) shows my Raspberry PI B2 and python program that measures and records object speeds using Opencv (Computer Vision) and can use a web camera or RPi camera module. Code Now runs on windows and non RPI Unix distros using a USB Web Camera. There is also an opencv template match (find image inside another image) search utility that can find similar vehicles (objects) in the speed search images library. Includes a makehtml and local webserver for viewing speed images and CSV data.
The program is written in python and is available on GitHub. The inspiration was a comment on the RPI forum from a user asking if the camera could be used to measure vehicle speed. Having written a previous motion tracking and associated hotspot game, I decided to take on the challenge as a fun exercise. If you are interested in Raspberry Pi computers and python programming then this might be a fun project to try. The accuracy of the data may vary but my test results have surprised me. Check out some of my other video's since video editing is another one of my hobbies.
