PanoTools NG:
Re: PanoTools based Videostabilization

I am eagerly awaiting my GIROPTIC camera so that I can take videos on my bicycle (I live near a river with highly photogenic cycle paths along both banks). Doubtless they will be shaky videos! I look forward to using this new tool to smooth them. Great timing from my point of view!
Thank you, Professor Dersch!

I reworked the optimizer to handle moving cameras, create and select suitable control points, and calculate a smoothed 3d-trajectory. Here is one example featuring a (favourable I think) comparison with existing stabilizer tools (mostly 2d-based), and another example of a hyperlapsed bicycle ride.
