# Speed Estimation using Ultralytics YOLOv8 🚀
## What is Speed Estimation?
Speed estimation is the process of calculating the rate of movement of an object within a given context, often employed in computer vision applications. Using [Ultralytics YOLOv8](https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics/) you can now calculate the speed of object using [object tracking](https://docs.ultralytics.com/modes/track/) alongside distance and time data, crucial for tasks like traffic and surveillance. The accuracy of speed estimation directly influences the efficiency and reliability of various applications, making it a key component in the advancement of intelligent systems and real-time decision-making processes.
## Advantages of Speed Estimation?
- **Efficient Traffic Control:** Accurate speed estimation aids in managing traffic flow, enhancing safety, and reducing congestion on roadways.
- **Precise Autonomous Navigation:** In autonomous systems like self-driving cars, reliable speed estimation ensures safe and accurate vehicle navigation.
- **Enhanced Surveillance Security:** Speed estimation in surveillance analytics helps identify unusual behaviors or potential threats, improving the effectiveness of security measures.

!!! Example "Speed Estimation using YOLOv8 Example"
=== "Speed Estimation"
```python
from ultralytics import YOLO
from ultralytics.solutions import speed_estimation
import cv2
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("speed_estimation.avi",
cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc(*'mp4v'),
fps,
(w, h))
line_pts = [(0, 360), (1280, 360)]
# Init speed-estimation obj
speed_obj = speed_estimation.SpeedEstimator()
speed_obj.set_args(reg_pts=line_pts,
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 = speed_obj.estimate_speed(im0, tracks)
video_writer.write(im0)
cap.release()
video_writer.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
```
???+ warning "Speed is Estimate"
Speed will be an estimate and may not be completely accurate. Additionally, the estimation can vary depending on GPU speed.
