Highlights
-
Efficient video stabilization mechanism
-
Operates in non-planar 3D environments
-
Applies for moving objects (besides camera shake)
-
Nearly on-line performance
Our Innovation
New video processing algorithm based on epipolar geometry for stabilizing jittered camera shots (such as hand held cameras). The method achieves strong stabilization for general scenes containing arbitrary geometry. The method does not reconstruct 3D geometry and hence it does not include non-linear optimizations and runs very efficiently.

Key Features
-
Robust video stabilization: achieves 3D stabilization (without 3D reconstruction)
-
Runs fast, can reach 30fps (with lag of 5-10 frames)
-
Handles dynamic scenes
Development Milestones
-
Seeking licensing agreements with video editing and processing software developers as well as digital video camera vendors
The Opportunity
-
Can be employed with any video editing software as well as embedded on digital video cameras
