That is a really good suggestion. In fact, you don't need stereo vision
or wheel counters or anything, just a software packages called boujou.
This automatically tracks points in the scene, calibrates everything,
and tracks them through 3d space. All you need to do is scale the output

Geospatial vision is owned by the same people as 2d3, who make boujou. :-)
The only problem is that boujou is way too expensive for us.
