Abstract

AbstractTaking selfies and videos from multimedia devices such as mobile phone cameras, smart phones, and camcorders is a very recent trend. Video stabilization is an important technology which aims at removing annoying shaky motion from videos. Video sequences captured by handheld cameras exhibit various spatiotemporal distortions which cause unpleasant visual experience.
