Chao Jia (The University of Texas at Austin), “Video Stabilization and Rectification for Handheld Cameras”, Advisor: Prof. Brian L. Evans (2014)
Video acquired by smart phones and other handheld cameras suffers from interframe jitter due to user hand shake and walking, and from rolling shutter effects due to fast relative motion between the camera and scene. In this dissertation, the author proposed to fuse gyroscope and visual data for stabilization of interfame jitter and rectification of rolling shutter artifacts.
