Tokyo, Japan –December 18th, 2023– Morpho, Inc. (hereinafter, “Morpho”), a global leader in image processing and imaging AI solutions, announced today that it released “MovieSolid® 3D” (*1), an electronic video stabilization that utilizes depth information and minimizes vertical bounce effect.
Conventional EIS only suppresses camera’s rotational motion (roll, pitch and yaw). Newly-developed “MovieSolid 3D” suppresses camera’s translational motion in addition to the rotational motion.
“MovieSolid 3D” calculates depth information in real time and estimates the amount of camera’s translational motion. This leads powerful reduction of vertical bounce effect that cannot be fully compensated for by conventional video stabilization. As a result, much smoother video is generated.
Generally, video stabilization is realized by electronic stabilization and/or optical stabilization.
Electronic video stabilization mainly suppresses rotational motion, while optical video stabilization suppresses translational motion by moving the lens and image sensor. However, optical video stabilization has a limited mechanical drive range, so it cannot suppress vertical bounce effect that occurs when walking which may leave up-down motion in the video.
“MovieSolid 3D” utilizes depth information to electronically suppress vertical translational motion that optical video stabilization cannot correct. This will allow users to shoot smoother videos without vertical bounce when walking or in the scenes with other up-down motions.
