Ask HN: State of the Art in Video Stabilization?

3 points · ChadNauseam · 9 hours ago

I know of Hyperlapse Pro, which did some kind of 3D reconstruction of the scene to stabilize a video, Hyperlapse Mobile which just does frame selection (but still works very well), and LocalRF [0] which seems to use NeRFs to construct a smoothed video. But all are relatively old given the rapid rate of improvement in AI and computer graphics, and all are hard to run. (Hyperlapse pro only runs on windows, hyperlapse mobile is no longer on the play store, and I have no idea how to run localrf.)

There is also Gyroflow [1] which does a great job using gyroscope data, but the results are not as spectacular as those discussed above. What is the modern state of the art?

If you are trying to stabilize a phone, you can get a gimbal for $100 or less.

Its behavior will be predictable and you can create a reliable workflow.
