Video Stabilization For Vehicular Applications Is An Important Method Of Removing Unwanted Shaky Motions From Unstable Videos. In This Paper, An Improved Video Stabilization Method With Image Stitching Has Been Proposed. Scale Invariant Feature Transform (Sift) Matching Is Used To Calculate The New Position Of The Points In Next Frame. Image Stitching Is Done In Every Frame To Get Stabilized Frames To Provide Stable Video As Well As A Better Understanding Of The Previous Frame'S Position And Show The Surrounding Objects Together. The Computational Complexity Of Sift (Scale-Invariant Feature Transform) Is Reduced By Reducing The Sift Descriptors Size And Resticting The Number Of Keypints To Be Extracted. Also, A Modified Matching Procedure Is Proposed To Improve The Accuracy Of The Stabilization.

This paper proposes a robust digital video stabilization algorithm to extract and track an object, which uses a phase correlation-based motion correction. The proposed video stabilization algorithm consists of background stabilization based on motion estimation and extraction of a moving object. The motion vectors can be estimated by calculating the phase correlation of a series of frames in the eight sub-images, which are located in the corner of the video. The global motion vector can be estimated and the image can be compensated by using the multiple local motions of sub-images. Through the calculations of the phase correlation, the motion of the background can be subtracted from the former frame and the compensated frame, which share the same background. The moving objects in the video can also be extracted. In this paper, calculating the phase correlation to track the robust motion vectors results in the compensation of vibrations, such as movement, rotation, expansion and the downsize of videos from all directions of the sub-images. Experimental results show that the proposed digital image stabilization algorithm can provide continuously stabilized videos and tracking object movements.

Video stabilization is a very important step for vision based applications in the vehicular technology because the accuracy of these applications such as obstacle distance estimation, lane detection and tracking can be affected by bumpy roads and oscillation of vehicle. Conventional methods suffer from either the zooming effect which caused by a camera movement or some motion of surrounding vehicles. In order to overcome this problem, we propose a novel video stabilization method using FOE(Focus of Expansion). When a vehicle moves, optical flow diffuses from the FOE and the FOE is equal to an epipole. If a vehicle moves with vibration, the position of the epipole in the two consecutive frames is changed by oscillation of the vehicle. Therefore, we carry out video stabilization using motion vector estimated from the amount of change of the epipoles. Experiment results show that the proposed method is more efficient than conventional methods.

Video stabilization is an important image enhancement widely used in surveillance system in order to improve recognition performance. Most previous methods calculate inter-frame homography to estimate global motion. These methods are relatively slow and suffer from significant depth variations or multiple moving object. In this paper, we propose a fast and practical approach for video stabilization that selects the most reliable key frame as a reference frame to a current frame. We use optical flow to estimate global motion within an adaptively selected region of interest in static camera environment. Optimal global motion is found by probabilistic voting in the space of optical flow. Experiments show that our method can perform real-time video stabilization validated by stabilized images and remarkable reduction of mean color difference between stabilized frames.

동영상 안정화 기술은 최근 1인 미디어 시장이 거대화됨에 따라 그 중요성이 점점 커지고 있는 카메라 기술 중 하나이다. 딥러닝 기반의 기존 방법들에서는 안정화 전/후 동영상 데이터 쌍을 사용하였으나 동영상의 특성상 동기화된 안정화 전/후 데이터를 만드는 것은 많은 시간과 노력이 필요하다. 최근 이러한 문제를 완화하기 위하여 안정화 전 데이터만을 사용하는 비지도 학습 방법이 제시되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 비지도 학습 방법의 하나인 Convolutional Autoencoder 구조를 사용하여 안정화 전/후 동영상 데이터 쌍 없이 안정화 전 영상만으로 안정화 궤적을 학습하는 네트워크 구조를 제안한다. 네트워크 입력 및 출력으로 옵티컬 플로우를 사용하고 네트워크 경량화 및 노이즈 최소화를 위해 옵티컬 플로우를 Grid 단위로 맵핑하여 사용했다. 또한 비지도 학습 방법으로 안정화된 궤적을 생성하기 위해 옵티컬 플로우를 부드럽게 만드는 손실함수를 정의하였고 결과 비교를 통해 손실함수의 의도대로 부드러운 궤적을 생성하도록 네트워크가 학습되었음을 확인했다.

가정용 캠코더의 보급으로 인해서 손떨림이나 카메라 흔들림을 보상하기 위해 다양한 동영상 안정화 기법들이 연구되고 있다. 동영상 안정화 기법은 초기에 2차원 움직임만을 고려하였지만, 최근에는 3차원 움직임까지 고려하여서 더 좋은 성능을 얻을 수 있게 되었다. 이러한 기법들 중 가장 좋은 성능을 보이는 것으로 알려진 기법이 바로 content preserving warping을 이용한 기법인데 이것은 뛰어난 성능을 보이지만 방대한 연산량이 단점이다. 그래서, 우리는 ROI 측면에서 종래 기술 대비 동등한 화질을 보이면서도 연산량이 적은 full frame warping을 제안한다. 먼저, 목표로 하는 깊이 정보를 바탕으로 관심 영역을 설정하고, 설정된 관심 영역을 기반으로 full frame warping을 수행한다.

In this paper, we propose a method for evaluating the uncomfortable shaking in the video. When you shoot a video using a handheld device, such as a smartphone, most of the video contains unwanted shake. Most of these fluctuations are caused by hand tremors that occurred during shooting, and many methods for correcting them automatically have been proposed. It is necessary to evaluate the shake correction performance in order to compare the proposed shake correction methods. However, since there is no standardized performance evaluation method, a correction performance evaluation method is proposed for each shake correction method. Therefore, it is difficult to make objective comparison of shake correction method. In this paper, we propose a method for objectively evaluating video shake. Automatically analyze the video to find out how much tremors are included in the video and how much the tremors are concentrated at a specific time. In order to measure the shaking index, we proposed jitter modeling. We applied the algorithm implemented by Optical Flow to the real video to automatically measure shaking frequency. Finally, we analyzed how the shaking indices appeared after applying three different image stabilization methods to nine sample videos.

Video from unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is influenced by natural environments due to the light-weight UAV, specifically by winds. Thus UAV's shaking movements make the video shaking. Objective of this paper is making a stabilized video by removing shakiness of video acquired by UAV. Stabilizer estimates camera's motion from calculation of optical flow between two successive frames. Estimated camera's movements have intended movements as well as unintended movements of shaking. Unintended movements are eliminated by smoothing process. Experimental results showed that our proposed method performs almost as good as the other off-line based stabilizer. However estimation of camera's movements, i.e., calculation of optical flow, becomes a bottleneck to the real-time stabilization. To solve this problem, we make parallel stabilizer making average 30 frames per second of stabilized video. Our proposed method can be used for the video acquired by UAV and also for the shaking video from non-professional users. The proposed method can also be used in any other fields which require object tracking, or accurate image analysis/representation.

In many moving object detection problems of an aerial video, accurate and robust stabilization is of critical importance. In this paper, a novel accurate image alignment algorithm for aerial electronic image stabilization (EIS) is described. The feature points are first selected using optimal derivative filters based Harris detector, which can improve differentiation accuracy and obtain the precise coordinates of feature points. Then we choose the Delaunay Triangulation edges to find the matching pairs between feature points in overlapping images. The most "useful" matching points that belong to the background are used to find the global transformation parameters using the projective invariant. Finally, intentional motion of the camera is accumulated for correction by Sage-Husa adaptive filtering. Experiment results illustrate that the proposed algorithm is applied to the aerial captured video sequences with various dynamic scenes for performance demonstrations.

본 논문에서는 블랙박스 혹은 운전석에 장착된 카메라로부터 얻어진 차량 영상에 대한 영역별 수직 투영 히스토그램 매칭 및 선형 회귀분석 모델을 활용한 강건한 차량 운행 동영상의 안정화 기법을 제안한다. 동영상 안정화 기법은 영상의 흔들림 보정 뿐 아니라 동영상 내 강건한 특징점 추적 및 매칭을 위한 이전의 전처리 과정으로 활용된다. 일반적으로 촬영 과정에서 많은 떨림이 포함될 수 있는 야외 CCTV 영상이나 손으로 들고 촬영된 동영상에 대한 흔들림 보정 등에 적용되고 있으나 영상 내 특징점이 지속적으로 변하고 영상의 변화 정도가 매우 심한 차량 운행 동영상에서는 적용된 사례가 드물다. 본 연구에서는 일반적인 비디오 안정화 기술이 적용되기 어려운 차량 운행 동영상에 대하여 흔들림 보정을 위한 동영상 안정화 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 입력 영상에 대한 영역별 수직 투영 히스토그램 매칭을 수행하고 선형 회귀모델을 통해 영상에 나타나는 수직 및 회전 이동 변환을 선형 근사하여 시간 영역상에서의 입력 영상에 대한 안정화를 수행한다. 제안 방법의 검증을 위해 블랙박스로 촬영된 동영상에 동영상 안정화 기술을 적용하였으며, 운행 중 불규칙한 노면으로 인한 영상의 흔들림이 효과적으로 제거되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
