Camera shaking effects reduction by means of still sequence stabilization and spatio-temporal filtering

Abstract

Even if it is believed that in the near future optical image stabilization will be mounted on mobile consumer devices, thus providing a reliable and fast way to deal with camera shaking problems, for the time being, under critical acquisition conditions, handheld captured photography suffers from motion blur effects. This article summarizes a low-cost digital technique to deal with the aforementioned problem employing a mixture of multi-capture, algorithmic stabilization and de-noising techniques.
