Abstract
Described examples relate to an apparatus comprising a memory for storing image frames and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to receive a plurality of image frames from an image capture device and downsize each of the plurality image frames to generate a plurality of versions of each image frame at a plurality of different sizes. The at least one processor may also be configured to determine alignment information for a first version of a first image frame. The alignment information may include a first alignment vector for identifying image data in a first version of a second image frame that corresponds to image data in the first version of the first image frame. Further, the at least one processor may be configured to determine a first initial alignment vector for identifying image data in a first version of a third image frame based on at least the first alignment vector.
