Image stabilization, determining the structure of the camera movement by means of an additional line-scan

Abstract

This work presents a novel method of images stabilization, which is based on determining the structure of the movement of the camera by means of an additional line-scan camera. In the proposed method the camera and the line-scan most be strongly united and is necessary to know the relative position between then by mean of a priori calibration process. In this paper a mathematical model of the system is introduced and some results obtained in the image stabilization experiments, using a 2 k line-scan sensor, are discussed.
