Abstract

Video stabilization methods cannot compensate entire unwanted motions of an unstable video. In this paper, we present a new performance metric which can effectively measure the stability of a video. Our hypothesis is that in case of non dynamic background, the background motion is zero without the foregrounds of a stable video when a video taken by a fixed camera. Firstly, the foregrounds of a stabilized video are discarded, then, each background pixel motion is determined between the two consecutive background frames in two directions separately, afterwards, an average motion of each pixel is computed. These mean motions determine the stability of a video. The more unstable video will have more background motions. The background motion is a criterion to evaluate the stability of a video. The experimental results prove the efficacy of our proposed approach.
