Abstract

A method for video sequential alignment is provided. The method includes inputting a first video sequence and a second video sequence, and extracting features of the first video sequence and the second video sequence. The method also includes generating an expanded path using a hierarchical sequential alignment algorithm and generating masks containing search space using keyframe matching. Further, the method includes calculating the lowest path cost within search space to find a minimal alignment path using a block A* algorithm and outputting a final alignment result after applying the block A* algorithm to search space.
