📰 Dev.to · BabbaWaagen
Estimate the speed of the ISS using computer vision with Python and OpenCV, and understand how to apply this technique to real-world problems
Action Steps
- Install OpenCV using pip to utilize its computer vision capabilities
- Capture video footage of the ISS using a camera or download existing footage
- Apply image processing techniques using OpenCV to enhance and stabilize the video
- Track the motion of the ISS across frames using feature detection and matching
- Calculate the speed of the ISS based on its tracked motion and known parameters
Who Needs to Know This
