Geodesic video stabilization

(zip, 18M)
ver. 1.0, release 16 June 2016
This software implemented the algorithm of geodesic video stabilization in the manner of off-line processing.
Non-reference motion stability assessment

(zip, 40K)
ver. 1.0, release 11th April 2018
This code implemented the algorithm of stability quality assessment based on measuring the geodesic curvature of motion paths, without any ground truth data used in the assessment.
Full-reference motion stability assessment

(zip, 1.3K)
ver. 1.0, release 27th August 2018
This code implemented the computation of the geodesic distance between two homographies on the Lie group manifold. It is used as a tool in the stability quality assessment with the ground truth data available.
DATA
To enable motion stability assessment with the ground truth stable videos, namely full-reference assessment, we collect 9 categories of examples: walking, climbing, running, riding, driving, large parallax, crowd, near-range object and dark. For each example, there is an original shaky video and a stable video that are captured by our customized device, including a Diji Osmo camera and a Gopro camera. Users can directly compare the stabilization of the shaky video to the stable video for quality assessment. All the examples can be freely downloaded here.


To the best of our knowledge, our data set is the first one that provides the natural videos that have the ground truth in company with the shaky videos. If the data is used in your work, please cite the following paper:
