Video Stabilization with OpenCV

Question

I have a video feed which is taken with a moving camera and contains moving objects. I would like to stabilize the video, so that all stationary objects will remain stationa

Answer 1

Here is already good answer, but it use a little bit old algorithm and I developed the program to solve the similar problem so i add additional answer.

1. At first, you should extract feature from image using feature extractor like SIFT, SURF algorithm. In my case, FAST+ORB algorithm is best. If you want more information, See this paper
2. After you get the features in images, you should find matching features with images.there are several matcher but Bruteforce matcher is not bad. If Bruteforce is slow in your system, you should use a algorithm like KD-Tree.
3. Last, you should get geometric transformation matrix which is minimize error of transformed points. You can use RANSAC algorithm in this process. You can develop all this process using OpenCV and I already developed it in mobile devices. See this repository
