How to find the distance of the objects from the camera? For example, in your test video, how to calculate the distance of each person from the camera? Would be glad to have a solution. TIA.

When using YOLOv8's distance calculation for complex scenes, any chance it gets flustered like an out-of-tune guitarra? 🎸 How might noise in detection affect accuracy, and can it sync back smoothly to real-world applications like autonomous driving?

Hi there! Fantastic video! I find myself learning something new every day. I was curious about whether it's possible to measure dimensions like depth, length, width, and area using Yolov8 instance segmentation. Can you shed some light on this?

How does YOLOv8 handle overlapping bounding boxes when calculating distances, and could this impact accuracy in crowded scenes?

[Kunpolin]

what are distance calculation matrix for this reference ?

[anshkalra]

How to make distance calculation automatic between two pre-defined objects, instead of clicking them from mouse??

[os-EmilyW]

How does the subtle intricacies of object depth perception with YOLOv8’s distance calculations impact the accuracy in complex environments, such as densely populated urban areas or cluttered indoor spaces? Your insights could illuminate the interplay between machine vision algorithms and their efficacy in real-world scenarios.

how to manipulate bounding box color under certain conditions during the image prediction step, is there any built in function available in yolov8

[MarwaGuizeni]

I tried the same code, but it didn't show the calculation distance in the video

[artcdvil]

Can i use this to calculate distance from my camera to a detected object for example a pothole ?

Can we calculate object width and height with yolov8 ?

[maayanbitan]

Hi, what version did you clone from the ultralytics git?

[LongLe-mhlu]

In 3:38 Distance M: 19.8 m, why it so far?

[TheRomanFour]

How could I use this to caluclate distance between more then one detections. Per example it detects all distances between 2 classes?

[cmstone]

Can you do distance calculation with an instance segmentation model? I have tried using model.segment instead of model.track but I always get an error "AttributeError: 'YOLO' object has no attribute 'segment'"

[TreukFlyyy]

Can an application like this run in a Streamlit app ?

[KunalSingh-gsdx]

this does not capture the real distance. distance calculated is wrong. i had 1 meter apart objects but the codes calculated the distance to be between 25 meters and 27 meters.I think, it should include DEPTH in the distance calculation, because without this, distance calculation can never be accurate(for 2 objects in a image/video)

[hrvojebilic]

In 3:46 distance is stated as 45.49 meters. Well I don't think so ...

Dónde puedo encontrar el código del video?? Gracias

hi, just a tip, please slow down, many of us arent native speakers so it becomes really hard to follow
