Just was on Channel 11 News. [http://blog.tmcnet.com/blog/tom-keating/news/undetectable-speed-detector.asp](http://blog.tmcnet.com/blog/tom-keating/news/undetectable-speed-detector.asp) > Scientists have invented an undetectable speed detector based on military technology which is used to create a visually based speed measurement device. > University of Florida researchers believe they have rendered makers of radar detectors and other speed detection countermeasures useless. Using a $5 million grant from the Air Force, they’ve developed software that can use live video camera footage to recognize objects and measure their speed. It does so by using a very common principle, i.e. the Distance = Rate X Time formula or in this case Rate = Distance/Time formula. It calculating the distance a car moves in a series of photos compared to a fixed object in the background. Because the system is passive, unlike conventional laser and radar speed guns, it cannot be detected. > “If it can view the object moving, that’s all it needs. The computer figures out everything else,” said Warren Dixon, University of Florida assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering. “We’re trying to use both regular and infrared cameras, so night or adverse weather conditions don’t present a problem.” There currently testing it in **Moon Township** and already gave out 90 citations. **\*correction 97 tickets in 7 days** :scared: ---

commin home from work today, i was going up 65, and there was white truck off to the side, and about a half mile later, there were about 12 cops, police cars, police bikes, police trucks. they had traffic stopped, and a cop in the highway, hand picking people outta traffic, who were speeding back at the trap. the speed limit is 50, dont stop traffic just to nab a speeder, geez. ---

ITs all about your meant to go fast on the autobahn. X2, besides if they built anything like that around here I would stay off it. It would be the worlds biggest idiot magnet, and I’m sure most those would be kids testing their parents SUV’s. Sorry lets get this back on topic. I wonder how good the system really is. Lets say your speeding, you goto pass a semi right and you go by the camera. If the semi is in front of the camera I’m sure its got no chance in hell of seeing you. Vice versa what if your in between the camera and the semi, how many things can it track at once? I know the chance of you passing the camera at the exact moment where your running side by side with a semi is low, its just a example. Or what if a group of speeding cars go by? I’m sure there is a somewhere where the system falls short. Still it kinda sucks though. ---

Hmm, looks to just be video vascar with a computer doing the timing in place of the officer and no reference lines on the road required. I wonder if the system is using recognition software to identify an entire car or focuses down on a certain part. Perhaps there is something to a nice camo paint job, but I seriously doubt it. ---

Fucking Pigs have nothing better to do… spend $5M to catch speeders, but yet still every morning at work I still hear of all the overnight shootings in pgh… its like clockwork… I dont understand the goverment… Why dont they just install computers in the cars and once you go over 65 they send you a ticket in the mail… thats what its getting to… ridiculas ---
