# Distance Calculation using Ultralytics YOLOv8 🚀 |
|
|
|
## What is Distance Calculation? |
|
|
|
Measuring the gap between two objects is known as distance calculation within a specified space. In the case of [Ultralytics YOLOv8](https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics), the bounding box centroid is employed to calculate the distance for bounding boxes highlighted by the user. |

## Advantages of Distance Calculation? |
|
|
|
- **Localization Precision:** Enhances accurate spatial positioning in computer vision tasks. |
|
- **Size Estimation:** Allows estimation of physical sizes for better contextual understanding. |
|
- **Scene Understanding:** Contributes to a 3D understanding of the environment for improved decision-making. |

|
|
- Click on any two bounding boxes with Left Mouse click for distance calculation |
|
|
|
!!! Example "Distance Calculation using YOLOv8 Example" |
|
|
|
=== "Video Stream" |
|
|
|
```python |
|
import cv2 |
|
|
|
from ultralytics import YOLO, solutions |
|
|
|
model = YOLO("yolov8n.pt") |
|
names = model.model.names |
|
|
|
cap = cv2.VideoCapture("path/to/video/file.mp4") |
|
assert cap.isOpened(), "Error reading video file" |
|
w, h, fps = (int(cap.get(x)) for x in (cv2.CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH, cv2.CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT, cv2.CAP_PROP_FPS)) |
|
|
|
# Video writer |
|
video_writer = cv2.VideoWriter("distance_calculation.avi", cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc(*"mp4v"), fps, (w, h)) |
|
|
|
# Init distance-calculation obj |
|
dist_obj = solutions.DistanceCalculation(names=names, view_img=True) |
|
|
|
while cap.isOpened(): |
|
success, im0 = cap.read() |
|
if not success: |
|
print("Video frame is empty or video processing has been successfully completed.") |
|
break |
|
|
|
tracks = model.track(im0, persist=True, show=False) |
|
im0 = dist_obj.start_process(im0, tracks) |
|
video_writer.write(im0) |
|
|
|
cap.release() |
|
video_writer.release() |
|
cv2.destroyAllWindows() |
|
``` |
|
|
|
???+ tip "Note" |
|
|
|
- Mouse Right Click will delete all drawn points |
|
- Mouse Left Click can be used to draw points |
