Hello everyone, I would like to use hugin's remapping tools in order to stabilize the motion of a camera in sports videos like this one: http://lear.inrialpes.fr/people/gaidon/media/high_jump.avi
My goal is to generate a video with a static background in order to obtain something like that: http://lear.inrialpes.fr/people/gaidon/media/stabilized_high_jump.avi. Some research papers recently reported the success of stitching methods for this purpose (but without any details). Note that I want to automatically process a large quantity of videos and frames. Therefore, manual intervention is not possible and everything must be scripted (no GUI). I have spent some time on this already, but I still have a problem with the global alignment part. My pipeline is the following: 1) generate a .pto project file 2) automatically detect control points (on the background only) between each pair of adjacent frames (t, t+1) 3) run autooptimizer 4) run nona 5) combine the generated .tiff images in a video with ffmpeg The result I get is something like this, which is completely wrong: http://lear.inrialpes.fr/people/gaidon/media/buggy_stabilized_high_jump.avi Step 1 and 2 are working ok. Consequently, I believe that the problem might be in step 3 or 4. I run autooptimizer with the following options "-p -s". Using "-a" takes way too much time and yields the same result. What am I doing wrong? More specifically, why are the frames always centered and not shifted like the correctly stabilized video mentioned above? Is it because I provide control points only between frames t and t+1? Finally, do I use the good tools or is there something else for my task? Sorry for the lengthy e-mail, but I hope it's clear enough. I could really use the help! Thanks, Adrien PS: The python interface to hugin is a great great idea!
