# Distance Calculation using Ultralytics YOLOv8 π | |
## What is Distance Calculation? | |
Measuring the gap between two objects is known as distance calculation within a specified space. In the case of [Ultralytics YOLOv8](https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics), the bounding box centroid is employed to calculate the distance for bounding boxes highlighted by the user. | |

## Advantages of Distance Calculation? | |
- **Localization Precision:** Enhances accurate spatial positioning in computer vision tasks. | |
- **Size Estimation:** Allows estimation of physical sizes for better contextual understanding. | |
- **Scene Understanding:** Contributes to a 3D understanding of the environment for improved decision-making. | |
???+ tip "Distance Calculation" | |
- Click on any two bounding boxes with Left Mouse click for distance calculation | |
!!! Example "Distance Calculation using YOLOv8 Example" | |
=== "Video Stream" | |
```python | |
from ultralytics import YOLO | |
from ultralytics.solutions import distance_calculation | |
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("distance_calculation.avi", | |
cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc(*'mp4v'), | |
fps, | |
(w, h)) | |
# Init distance-calculation obj | |
dist_obj = distance_calculation.DistanceCalculation() | |
dist_obj.set_args(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 = dist_obj.start_process(im0, tracks) | |
video_writer.write(im0) | |
cap.release() | |
video_writer.release() | |
cv2.destroyAllWindows() | |
``` | |
???+ tip "Note" | |
- Mouse Right Click will delete all drawn points | |
- Mouse Left Click can be used to draw points | |
