Abstract

The most important step for successful video processing in computer vision is its stabilization. Often, it is required to process high resolution video in a real-time. In this paper, a  new method for a  real-time digital image stabilization in a  video stream is presented. This method preserves the intended camera motion and exploits computing power of GPGPU by utilizing CUDA programing interface. In order to reduce required computation power, local search windows are used for the correspondence search of consecutive video frames. These windows are further processed using Local Binary Patterns, which enables fast correlation using bitwise XOR. The experiments on video sequences from both car-mounted and hand-held camera have demonstrated the effectiveness of this method. The speed of stabilization designates this method for video preprocessing in real-time applications.
