Magical, 3D-Warping Techniques Steadies Your Videos
9:20 am
One entry that caught my eye in the Siggraph Technical Papers Preview was a non-linear 3D Warping technique for video stabilization. Well, some more information is out about that and the results are astounding. The University of Wisconson, partnered with Adobe, has developed a technique that combines traditional 2D motion tracking with nonlinear frame warping to create an image stabilization algorithm that’s the closest I’ve ever seen to professional dolly-systems, completely in software.
The paper will be presented at SIGGRAPH2009, and hopefully the algorithm will be a part of future Adobe products. See their demonstration video which compares the results of their software against iMovie’s 2D image stabilization, after the break.
