In this paper, an image-stabilization algorithm is presented that
is specifically oriented toward video-surveillance applications.
The proposed approach is based on a novel motion-
compensation method that is an adaptation of a well-known
image-stabilization algorithm for visualization purposes to
video-surveillance applications. In particular, the illustrated
methods take into account the specificity of typical video-
surveillance applications, where objects moving in a scene ofen
cover a large part of an image thus causing the failure of classic
image-stabilization techniques. In the second part of the paper,
evaluation methods for image stabilization algorithms are
discussed.
