Implement camera trajectory smoothing for video stabilization. This task involves reducing the jitter in a video by smoothing the camera's motion trajectory between frames.
Video stabilization is crucial for enhancing the viewing experience, and it relies on accurately estimating the homography between consecutive frames, which describes the transformation of the camera's motion. The accumulation of these transformations yields the camera's trajectory over time. However, this trajectory is often noisy and needs to be smoothed to remove unwanted jitter.
Here are the key steps:
This technique is widely used in handheld camera recordings and action cameras to reduce shakiness.
trajectory = [(0,0,0), (1,1,0.1), (0,2,0), (2,1,0.05), (1,2,0)] window_size = 3
Smoothed trajectory with reduced jitter
Original trajectory has jumps. Moving average over window=3:
