Abstract:
With the foundation of inter-frame translation motion of the videos captured in outdoor video monitoring, a real-time video stabilization method was presented with equilibrium position modification and adaptive update of storage frames, which can realize the full-resolution video stabilization. Firstly, the Kalman filter was used to estimate the intentional motion of the camera, in which the equilibrium position of the currently stabilized frame was obtained. Secondly, the reference frames and subsequent frames were stored. Based on the spatial coverage of the storage frames, the equilibrium position was modified to reach the full-resolution in-painting of the compensated current frame. Finally, taking the modified equilibrium position as the standard, and guaranteeing the coexistence of the storage frames with deviation in upper left, upper right, lower left, and lower right directions, we substituted the newest captured frames online for the earliest and redundant reference frames, so the storage frames can achieve the greatest coverage and temporal-spatial correlation with limited storage resource. The presented video stabilization algorithm achieves the full-resolution stabilization and real-time processing, which can be applied to the integrated and embedded video surveillance systems.
