Don't throw that video away! Reference Frames can fix Video Analysis with a Moving Camera

TL;DR

This paper presents a straightforward method to correct camera movement in videos, improving the accuracy of video analysis by using reference frames to mitigate errors caused by camera motion.

Contribution

It introduces a simple reference frame correction technique that can be easily applied to improve video analysis in the presence of camera movement.

Findings

The correction method effectively reduces errors caused by camera motion.

Application examples demonstrate improved analysis accuracy.

The approach is accessible for students and practitioners.

Abstract

One common source of error in video analysis is camera movement. The paper describes a simple frame of reference correction that students can employ to salvage otherwise corrupted video analysis data. Two examples are provided.
