Video event statistic tracking system

1. A method of calculating a parameter from a frame sequence, the method comprising:

selecting a first frame in a frame sequence, wherein the frame sequence has a frame rate, wherein the frame sequence comprises a plurality of frames, wherein selecting the first frame includes selecting a first location of a first real world event in the first frame;

selecting a second frame in the frame sequence, wherein selecting the second frame includes selecting a second location of a second real world event in the second frame;

selecting an intermediate frame in the frame sequence;

calculating, via a computing device, a first parameter utilizing the frame rate;

calculating a second parameter utilizing the frame rate, wherein the second parameter comprises a third location in a fourth frame, wherein the fourth frame is positioned either between the first frame and the intermediate frame or between the second frame and the intermediate frame in the frame sequence; and

inserting, via the computing device, an image corresponding to the first parameter into a third frame of the frame sequence.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the first parameter corresponds to the first real world event in the first frame and the second real world event in the second frame.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein selecting the first frame and selecting the second frame are performed while the frame sequence is occurring in real time.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein selecting the first frame and selecting the second frame are performed during a playback mode after the frame sequence has been recorded.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein

calculating a first parameter comprises calculating a first parameter utilizing the frame rate and data corresponding to the first and second locations.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein calculating a first parameter comprises calculating a first parameter utilizing the frame rate and a factor corresponding to a real world event.

7. The method of claim 6 wherein the factor comprises at least one of distance, length, space, height, altitude, and elevation.

8. The method of claim 1 wherein the first parameter comprises at least one of distance, speed, and elapsed time.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein inserting an image comprises inserting an image in real time as the real world events occur.

10. A system for calculating a parameter from a frame sequence comprising:

an image viewing device configured to enable an operator to select a first frame, a second frame, an intermediate frame, and a fourth frame in a frame sequence with a frame rate, a first location of a first real world event in the first frame, a second location of a second real world event in the second frame, and a third location in a fourth frame, wherein the fourth frame is positioned between the first frame and the intermediate frame or between the second frame and the intermediate frame;

a parameter calculation device configured to calculate a first parameter using the frame rate and a unit of measure corresponding to the first frame and the second frame and to calculate a second parameter utilizing the frame rate and corresponding to the third location; and

an image displaying device configured to display the information from the first parameter in the form of a graphic that is inserted into a fifth frame of a second frame sequence.

11. The system of claim 10 wherein the unit of measure comprises one or more of the following: a number of elapsed frames, a difference in time codes, and a distance between selected points.

12. The system of claim 10 wherein the displaying device is further configured to insert the information into an image sequence in correspondence to a time of occurrence of one or more of the first and second real world events.
