Abstract:
A novel online real-time video stabilization algorithm (LSstab) that suppresses unwanted motion jitters based on cinematography principles is presented. LSstab features a parallel realization of the a-contrario RANSAC (AC-RANSAC) algorithm to estimate the inter-frame camera motion parameters. A novel least squares based smoothing cost function is then proposed to mitigate undesirable camera jitters according to cinematography principles. A recursive least square solver is derived to minimize the smoothing cost function with a linear computation complexity. LSstab is evaluated using a suite of publicly available videos against state-of-the-art video stabilization methods. Results show that LSstab achieves comparable or better performance, which attains real-time processing speed when a GPU is used.

Residuals and Least-Squares Property
If the observed data point lies above the line, the residual is positive, and the line underestimates the actual data value for y. If the observed data point lies below the line, the residual is negative, and the line overestimates the actual data value for y.
