Method of stabilizing an image sequence

Abstract

A method of stabilizing an image sequence, said method comprising the following phases: estimating a first global motion vector comprising a first motion component in a predetermined direction that has associated with it a first respective amplitude and a first respective direction, said first vector being representative of the motion with respect to a reference image of a first image consisting of a pixel matrix, associating said first component with either a wanted motion or an unwanted motion, compensating said first component when it is associated with an unwanted motion, characterized in that the association phase comprises a phase of comparing the first amplitude of said component with a threshold compensation value 1 T comp hor assigned to the predetermined direction, said first component being associated with an unwanted or wanted motion whenever the first amplitude is, respectively, smaller than said threshold value 2 T comp hor or greater than/equal to it.
