Abstract
A method and system for estimating the average speed of a moving object based on an attribute of the moving object present within the captured image data is disclosed. A plurality of images of the moving object are recorded using an image sensor that senses the ambient light or other electromagnetic radiation reflected or emitted by the moving object. Each image is captured at a different capture time. The image sensor is preferably located at a fixed or substantially fixed location when imaging the moving object. An area of interest of the moving object is located within the image data of the first image. An attribute of the moving object is then calculated for the first image. For at least a second image, the same attribute is calculated for the same area of interest of the moving object. The attribute calculations for the first and at least second images are then used to determine the average speed of the moving object. The attribute may be the cross-sectional area of the area of interest of the moving object.
