Image Sequence Stabilization

چکیده
l1is paper describes a method of stabilizing image sequences obtained by a camera carried by a ground vehicle. The motion of the vehicle can usually be regarded as consisting of a desired smooth motion combined with an undesired non-smooth motion that includes impulsive or high frequency components. The goal of the stabilization process is to correct the images so that they are approximately the same as the images that would have been obtained if the motion of the vehicle had been smooth. We analyse the smooth and non-smooth motions of a ground vehicle and show that only the rota tional components of the non-smooth motion have significant perturbing effects on the images. We show how to identify image points at which rotational image flow is dominant, and how to use such points to estimate the vehicle's rotation. Finally, we describe an algorithm that fits smooth (ideally, piecewise constant) rotational motions to these estimates; the residual rotational motion can then be used to correct the images. We have obtained good results for several image sequences obtained from a camera carried by a ground vehicle moving across bumpy terrain.

Image Sequence Stabilization Using Membership Selective Fuzzy Filtering
Image sequence stabilization aims to remove unwanted fluctuations from an image sequence. This paper proposes a novel stabilization system making use of a fuzzy filter constructed by dynamic system based estimator definition with a fuzzy corrector. The stabilization system selectively switches between a pre-defined set of membership functions so as to improve gross movement tracking and stabili...
متن کاملImage Sequence Stabilization in Real Time
In this paper the problem of image stabilization is defined as follows: a camera mounted on a moving vehicle collects a sequence of images. The vehicle is trying to move along a smooth trajectory. In fact, however, the motion of the vehicle varies from the desired smooth motion; for a ground vehicle, this would primarily be due to roughness of the terrain. The goal of image stabilization is to ...
متن کاملImage Sequence Stabilization Through Model Based Registration
Acquisition of image series using the digital camera gives a possibility to obtain high resolution/quality animation, much better than while using the digital camcorder. However, there are several problems to deal with when producing animation using such approach. Especially, if motion involves changes in observer position and spatial orientation, the resulting animation may turn out to look ch...
متن کاملVisual Motion Estimation from Image Contour Tracking
An approach to visual motion estimation and its stabilization suitable for longitudinal camera motion is proposed. Closed contours with their image pair-like displacements in a short image sequence are detected. The contour length change rate is estimated allowing the rst stabilization step a weighted averaging of displacements. Two further steps follow the grouping of similarly moving neighbou...
متن کاملNon-Metric Image-Based Rendering for Video Stabilization
We consider the problem of video stabilization: removing unwanted image perturbations due to unstable camera motions. We approach this problem from an image-based rendering (IBR) standpoint. Given an unstabilized video sequence, the task is to synthesize a new sequence as seen from a stabilized camera trajectory. This task is relatively straightforward if one has a Euclidean reconstruction of t...
متن کاملStabilization of Infra-red Aerial Image Sequences Using Robust Estimation
Image stabilization is the image registration applied to one video image sequence from a single camera, which has been identified as the key first step for the task of multispectral image fusion for aerial surveillance applications. The stabilization of infra-red (IR) aerial image sequences is challenging owing to the low contrast and signal-tonoise ratio of the images, and to potentially large...
