Abstract
An approach to visual motion estimation and its stabilization suitable for longitudinal camera motion is proposed. Closed contours with their image pair-like displacements in a short image sequence are detected. The contour length change rate is estimated allowing the first stabilization step — a weighted averaging of displacements. Two further steps follow — the grouping of similarly moving neighbour contours and an adaptive motion estimation in a long image sequence.
