Rolling Shutter Effect Compensation with Global Waves Analysis

Xiaofu Huang, Bin Sheng, Ruimin Shen, Ping Li

Abstract: CMOS camera expose different portions of the frame at different points in time, resulting in the so-called rolling shutter effect that bright and dark region of striation moving in the movie vertically. In this paper, we propose an image processing technique using global wave analysis and develop a general compensation algorithm to handle this problem. Researches in this area aggregated in geometric image distortion or wobble effect. Our algorithm can perform this rolling shutter effect removal under varying environments. Experimental results demonstrate improvement of quality on rolling shutter effected video.
