Off-the-shelf solution for real-time, HD video stabilisation
RFEL has announced a off-the-shelf solution for real-time, HD video stabilisation. StableEyesHD uses RFEL's multi-award winning, HALO video processing technology to remove unwanted camera shake and picture rotation to increase the effectiveness of surveillance, security or situational awareness systems.
It is suitable for any surveillance application that is subject to camera or sensor platform movement and it is simply installed by plugging it into the existing video cable connections. It will be launched with live demonstrations at Counter Terror Expo 2015 on RFEL's booth number M7, with versions of StableEyesHD available for most common video standards.
The simplicity of in-line installation means that it provides an easy way to upgrade existing installations and can just as easily be removed should a downgrade be required. It also fits into new installations, improves detection, recognition and identification performance and acts to reduce viewer fatigue and false positives. It is completely self-contained, requiring only a power feed and has a best-in-class, sub-10W consumption when at the highest supported input resolution.
StableEyesHD automatically senses and corrects horizontal, vertical and rotational scene movement, which is irrelevant and tiring for the operator to watch, leaving only the local movement that is of interest making it much easier to notice and respond to. The technology is not fooled by mild defocus and works in the presence of rolling shutter problems. Users can selectively programme the rate of change of global movement that is corrected to optimise the device behaviour to the application.
Dr Alex Kuhrt, CEO, RFEL said, "This standalone, plug-and-play design is the simplest and most effective way to enhance a video surveillance system. It is a stabiliser in a box with video in from the camera or sensor and corrected video out. The StableEyesHD rugged enclosure is a compact fist-size and has no moving parts to ensure a long working life, even in challenging environments such as pole-, boat- or vehicle-mounted. Our field-proven HALO technology provides state-of-the-art, low latency HD video stabilisation but maintains very low power consumption."
