Abstract

Acquisition of image series using the digital camera gives a possibility to obtain high resolution/quality animation, much better than while using the digital camcorder. However, there are several problems to deal with when producing animation using such approach. Especially, if motion involves changes in observer position and spatial orientation, the resulting animation may turn out to look choppy and unsmooth. If there is no possibility to provide some hardware based stabilization of the camera during the motion, it is necessary to develop some image processing methods to obtain smooth animation. In this work we deal with the image sequence acquired without stabilization around an object. We propose a method that enables creation of smooth animation using the registration paradigm.
