Real-Time Vehicle Speed Detection Algorithm using Motion Vector Technique

Abstract — Surveillance video camera monitoring system has gained a lot of interest among the research community especially in monitoring vehicle speed. Apart from vehicle speed detection, this algorithm can be used to monitor the traffic condition along the road or highway. The existing surveillance video cameras are rarely used to measure the vehicle speed and estimate the vehicle. A MATLAB algorithm is proposed and developed to associate the developed algorithm with real-time video sequence and images. Development of vehicle speed detection algorithm is based on the vector-valued function and motion vector technique that estimates the velocity of moving vehicle
