Implement a rolling shutter correction algorithm to rectify distorted video frames using gyroscope data. This task involves compensating for the skew caused by camera rotation during the rolling shutter capture process, where each row is captured at a slightly different time.
The rolling shutter effect is a consequence of the way images are captured in most cameras, where the sensor reads out the pixel values row by row, rather than all at once. When the camera rotates during this process, it results in a skewed image, which can be modeled using affine transformations. The gyroscope data provides the per-row rotation, which can be used to apply an inverse transformation to correct the distortion.
To achieve this, the following steps are involved:
This technique is widely used in video stabilization applications.
Frame and rotation per row
Corrected frame
Apply inverse rotation to each row
