Monocular camera can now yield velocity and distance for robot path tracking

Andrew Carr notes that a recent upgrade may significantly improve his world space path tracking approach: a single monocular camera is now good enough to recover velocity, distance traveled, and related quantities. This has practical implications for robot odometry, though the post itself gives no technical details.
