Abstract
A new technique for velocity estimation and motion analysis of moving objects is presented. This technique is based on applying the Discrete Sine Area Transform (DSA T) to image sequences. The formulation of applying DSA T to an image sequence of multiple objects is presented. The analysis of the DSA T spectral domain indicates that the velocities of the moving objects are related to the locations of the peaks in the SAT spectrum. A peak detection algorithm is used to locate the DSA T spectral peaks from which the velocities of the moving objects are estimated. Experimental results are included to demonstrate the applicability of this technique. This technique is simple, efficient, and gives accurate estimation of the velocities of moving objects. There are no limitations to the size nor to the velocities of the moving objects. The presence of stationary objects does not affect the presented analysis nor does it require special processing.
