Abstract

For video stabilization, the difference between original camera motion path and the optimized one is proportional to the cropping ratio and warping ratio. A good optimized path should preserve the moving tendency of the original one meanwhile the cropping ratio and warping ratio of each frame should be kept in a proper range. In this paper we use an improved warping-based motion representation model, and propose a gauss-based multi-paths optimization method to get a smoothing path and obtain a stabilized video. The proposed video stabilization method consists of two parts: camera motion path estimation and path smoothing. We estimate the perspective transform of adjacent frames according to warping-based motion representation model. It works well on some challenging videos where most previous 2D methods or 3D methods fail for lacking of long features trajectories. The multi-paths optimization method can deal well with parallax, as we calculate the space-time correlation of the adjacent grid, and then a kernel of gauss is used to weigh the motion of adjacent grid. Then the multi-paths are smoothed while minimize the crop ratio and the distortion. We test our method on a large variety of consumer videos, which have casual jitter and parallax, and achieve good results.
