Abstract

Some state-of-the-art video stabilization methods can achieve quite good visual effect, but they always cost a lot of time. On the other hand, current real-time video stabilization methods cannot generate satisfactory results. In this paper, we propose a novel trajectory-based video stabilization method which can generate high-quality results in real time. Our method runs very fast, because many techniques are proposed for acceleration. In the trajectory smoothing step, trajectories are extracted, pre-processed, and smoothed. A video splitting algorithm is proposed for pre-processing, and binomial filtering is used for smoothing. Both of them are simple and fast. In the frame warping step, we calculate a spatially varying warp that is directed by a grid mesh for each frame. Instead of solving time consuming global optimization problems, the transformation matrix of each grid is calculated using nearby trajectories in our method, leading to very high speed. We implement our method and run it on a variety of videos. Experiments show that while the stabilization effect is comparable with state-of-the-art methods, our algorithm can run in real time.
