Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure relate to dynamic driving metric output platforms that utilize improved computer vision methods to determine vehicle metrics from video footage. A computing platform may receive video footage from a vehicle camera. The computing platform may determine that a reference marker in the video footage has reached a beginning and an end of a road marker based on brightness transitions, and may insert time stamps into the video accordingly. Based on the time stamps, the computing platform may determine an amount of time during which the reference marker covered the road marking. Based on a known length of the road marking and the amount of time during which the reference marker covered the road marking, the computing platform may determine a vehicle speed. The computing platform may generate driving metric output information, based on the vehicle speed, which may be displayed by an accident analysis platform. Based on known dimensions of pavement markings the computing platform may obtain the parameters of the camera (e.g., focal length, camera height above ground plane and camera tilt angle) used to generate the video footage and use the camera parameters to determine the distance between the camera and any object in the video footage.
