RidgeRun Video Stabilization Library

The RidgeRun Video Stabilization Library is the most advanced video stabilization library from RidgeRun. Our solution is based on Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS), which leverages movement data from accelerometers and gyroscopes in an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), and Digital Image Stabilization (DIS), which relies on optical flow-based motion estimation directly from the video stream. Both support live video (or real-time) stabilization and use cutting-edge, state-of-the-art algorithms to deliver robust video stabilization across a wide range of applications. This library makes the most of the platform, using C++ and allowing hardware-accelerated execution through SIMD CPU instructions, OpenCL, and CUDA. It can run on personal computers (PC), servers, and embedded systems, making it ideal for empowering your drone, robotics, surveillance, and entertainment applications. The RidgeRun Video Stabilization Library aims to be easy to use, extensible, cutting-edge, and hardware-accelerated for professional and production-ready products.
