Real time Video Stabilization

Real-time Video Stabilization

_{Original Video Courtesy @SIGGRAPH2013}

VidGear now provides real-time Video Stabilization with minimalistic latency and at the expense of little to no additional computational power requirement with Stabilizer Class. The basic idea behind it is to tracks and save the salient feature array for the given number of frames and then uses these anchor point to cancel out all perturbations relative to it for the incoming frames in the queue. This stabilization feature in VideoGear can be activated with stabilize boolean flag during initialization.

Features :

• Real-time stabilization with low latency and no extra resources.

• Works exceptionally well with low-frequency jitter.

• Integrated with VideoGear API, therefore, can be applied to any incoming stream.

• Also seamlessly works standalone.

⚠️ Important Information:

• The stabilizer may not perform well against High-frequency jitter in video. Use at your own risk!

• It is advised to enable logging (logging = True) on the first run, to easily identify any runtime errors.
