Abstract
An apparatus for determining wind speed includes an image capture device, a memory, and a computer-readable medium. The image capture device captures video and the memory stores the video. The computer-readable medium includes a computer program product stored thereon, and the computer program product is configured to determine a wind speed in the scene based on analysis of atmospheric turbulence occurring in the video. The method may include comparing a set of models to an analyzed video to determine the wind speed.
