Subframe Temporal Alignment of Non-Stationary Cameras


Subframe Temporal Alignment of Non-Stationary Cameras

This paper studies the problem of estimating the sub-frame temporal oÆset

between unsychronized, non-stationary cameras. Based on motion trajec-

tory correspondences, the estimation is done in two steps. First, we propose

an algorithm to robustly estimate the frame accurate oÆset by analyzing

the trajectories and matching their characteristic time patterns. Using this

result, we then show how the estimation of the fundamental matrix between

two cameras can be reformulated to yield the sub-frame accurate oÆset from

nine correspondences. We verify the robustness and performance of our ap-

proach on synthetic data as well as on real video sequences
