We introduce an innovative approach for the precise velocity estimation of an ego vehicle from dashcam video, leveraging optical flow analysis, feature engineering techniques, and a two-stage model architecture. Data comprising video and ego velocity information were used. In the initial stage, a velocity interval label classification model was constructed, while in the latter stage, a regression model was used for ego velocity estimation. The models were tested on the Comma.ai 2 K19 Dataset, and a Root Mean Square Error of 0.994 m/s was obtained from 300 test videos, and 2.204 m/s from 4 external test videos selected from KITTI Dataset. These results highlight the substantial reduction in estimation. The models can be applied to car accident analysis and GPS-based ego velocity estimation methods to enhance road safety and traffic accident investigation.

摘要

We introduce an innovative approach for the precise velocity estimation of an ego vehicle from dashcam video, leveraging optical flow analysis, feature engineering techniques, and a two-stage model architecture. Data comprising video and ego velocity information were used. In the initial stage, a velocity interval label classification model was constructed, while in the latter stage, a regression model was used for ego velocity estimation. The models were tested on the Comma.ai 2 K19 Dataset, and a Root Mean Square Error of 0.994 m/s was obtained from 300 test videos, and 2.204 m/s from 4 external test videos selected from KITTI Dataset. These results highlight the substantial reduction in estimation. The models can be applied to car accident analysis and GPS-based ego velocity estimation methods to enhance road safety and traffic accident investigation.
