Real time video stabilization with reduced temporal mismatch and low frame buffer

This paper proposes a real time video stabilization method which only requires a low number of buffered frames. The effect of temporal mismatch between the original and deshaked frames to the black border artifacts is also considered. This mismatch effect is then removed by delaying the motion compensation with a suitable number of frames. To minimize the number of buffered frames, the deshaking filter is designed to have smallest filter delay. Simulation shows that the proposed stabilization filter effectively removes the shaky motions and has reduced black border artifacts.
