Abstract

This paper presents a 3D (Three dimensional) video stabilization algorithm combined with a joint spatial and temporal strategy. On the temporal axis, SURF (Speeded-Up Robust Features) are extracted from the consecutive frames and then motion parameters are estimated, with which we calibrate and compensate the video frames after smoothing the motion parameters using Kalman filtering. Then, on the spatial axis, a histogram statistics method based on the extracted features is applied to detect the vertical parallax between the two views. Adjustments are implemented only when the parallax is larger than the safety threshold, which is conducted through subjective assessment, to maintain the consistency of 3D videos. The experimental results have shown that the proposed method is effective to reduce the vertical instability and inconsistency between binocular views and improve the quality and comfortableness of 3D videos.
