Abstract
The invention concerns a method for digital image stabilization for removing jitter from an original sequence of images () generated by a camera. The original sequence () is applied to a stabilization algorithm (). The global motion of a camera is estimated and filtered () using a default motion filter. Predetermined parameters () are extracted from both the original () and stabilized () sequences of images. A measure value is computed in order to evaluate () the stabilization quality and compared to a threshold. Depending on the results of the evaluation (O, O') the stabilization algorithm () uses an alternative filter, in order to improve stabilization quality, or continues to use the default filter.
