SyncVideo

Overview

Tool for spatial synchronization of video sequences. In other words, automatically match two films with each other, characterized by a very similar background, and differing in the settings of the camera recording the scene. The matching process is divided into two stages, when the first one includes the detection of a moving object on a given frame, while the second one involves the background synchronization of two video frames. The main issues are edge segmentation, optical flow and finding transformations between images using detection and matching of characteristic points. Project made within the scope of engineering thesis.
