Abstract: In this research, we present a study on estimation of vehicle speed based on video processing by using centroid method. This study used video data which was taken by camera cannon with single motorcycle in frame. The input video will firstly be converted into frames. Image enhancement will be applied in order to enhance the quality of image frames and will converts the frames into grayscale image. In this research, region of interest is defined to exclude the unwanted regions in next processing step. Next, Gaussian Mixture Model is performed to extract the foreground image. Then, morphological operation is used to reconstruct the image. Lastly, the centroid of each constructed object is calculated to determine the speed of vehicle. The results of experimental shows that this system can estimate the speed of vehicle with accuracy from 80.88% to 98.25%.
