+The `VelocityBlock` computes the velocity and speed of objects tracked across video frames.
+It includes options to smooth the velocity and speed measurements over time and to convert units from pixels per second to meters per second.
+It requires detections from Byte Track with unique `tracker_id` assigned to each object, which persists between frames.
+The velocities are calculated based on the displacement of object centers over time.
