360 Panorama Analyzer/Stabilizer

About

This is a rotational motion analyzer for 360 degree panorama movie that also enables afterward stabilizer of equirectangular movie.

After applying stabilizer: https://youtu.be/y0YYjcqRWTg (1-pass analysis result)

Usage

1. Press "load file" button for loading a movie file.
2. Press "Analyze" button for analysis of detecting rotational blurring.
3. If needed, by pressing "2nd analysis" button, 2nd stage analysis is started.
   By 2nd-pass analysis, the output becomes more stabilized, but my friends says the output without 2nd-pass is better result.
   The output movies are directly converted to the input during stabilization without intermediate image even using 2nd-pass.
   
4. Select output folder and output filename, extension for output.
5. Press "Stabilize" button for stabilization and saving the movie.

• By changing "prev. mag.", only displayed size is changed.
• By changin "output mag.", output image size is changed.
• By pressing "mathcing one" button, feature detection of current frame is previewed.
• By unchecking "save" checkbox and check "loop", previewing the output images are available.
• "moving average" is frames for moving averaging.
• "fine adjustment" values are just values that multiplied to the rotational shift during stabilizing.
• Use equirectangular movies that record all front, back, left and right direction, or the stabilizer does not work well, because the program detects rotational blur from image shifts of these four directions.

Environment

Windows 64 bit, with .NET framework. OpenCV is used and dlls are included.
