Digital video stabilization is a challenging task that aims to transform a potentially shaky video into a pleasant one by smoothing the camera trajectory. Despite the various works found in the literature addressing this task, their organization and analysis have not yet received much attention. In this work, we present a thorough review of the literature for video stabilization, organized according to a proposed taxonomy. A formal definition for the problem is introduced, along with a brief interpretation in physical terms. We also provide a comprehensive discussion on the main challenges and future trends for this active area.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
