Global Motion Estimation

Obtaining accurate global motion is a crucial step for video stabilization. This paper proposes a robust and simple method to implement global motion estimation. We don’t extend the framework of 2D video stabilization but add a “plug and play” module to motion estimation based on feature points. Firstly, simple linear iterative clustering (SLIC) pre-segmentation is used to obtain superpixels of the video frame, clustering is performed according to the superpixel centroid motion vector and cluster center with large value is eliminated. Secondly, in order to obtain accurate global motion estimation, an improved K-means clustering is proposed. We match the feature points of the remaining superpixels between two adjacent frames, establish a feature points’ motion vector space, and use improved K-means clustering for clustering. Finally, the richest cluster is being retained, and the global motion is obtained by homography transformation. Our proposed method has been verified on different types of videos and has efficient performance than traditional approaches. The stabilization video has an average improvement of 0.24 in the structural similarity index than the original video and 0.1 higher than the traditional method.
