Technical Note: A New Technique to Improve Video Stability by Digital Processing

Toshinari Matsuzuru, Yoshio Monjo, Takashi Sueoka

In many cases video images taken with a telephoto lens or with a camera mounted on a moving vehicle or aircraft show motion caused by the vibration of the camera itself. Various mechanical antivibration devices have been used to reduce the vibration of the pickup system and improve video stability. A new technique to improve video stability by digital processing, analyzing and correcting the video motion electronically, has been developed at Japan Broadcasting Corp. (NHK). This corrective system works in real time either for live images or for videotaped images as they are broadcast.
