Enhancement: Real-time Video Stabilization in vidgear about vidgear HOT 3 CLOSED

Updates:

• While searching for python library based on nghiaho implementation. I came across Python Video Stabilization (VidStab) by AdamSpannbauer. Initially, I decided to build a wrapper around this library for vidgear , but the experiments with this library tell a different story. The quality of stabilization with vidstab is very poor as compared to the original implementation by nghiaho12. The main problem is that after stabilizing, vidstab output is still swaying too much even with slow vibrations in videos which were not present in the original implementation. This behavior was reported on vidstab issues but didn't get any valid response from the author in time.

• After digging into this issue further and researching the original implementation, I decided to reimplement my own modified stabilizer for vidgear from scratch based on findings of Simple video stabilization using OpenCV by nghiaho12 sample code.

Purposed Fix

PR #24 introduces Powerful Real-time Video Stabilizer for vidgear from scratch based on findings of by nghiaho12 sample code. This stabilizer can work both standalone and with VidGear Multi-Threaded Classes and thereby is solely integrated into vidgear's VideoGear Class. This feature for any given video stream can be activated with stabilize boolean flag during initialization in VideoGear Class.

Features :

• Real-time stabilization and low latency with no extra resources.
• Works exceptionally well with low frequency jitter.
• Compatible with any vidgear's video streams including live network streams.
• Works both standalone and with VidGear Multi-Threaded Classes.
• Directly integrated into vidgear's VideoGear Class.
