Just learned that a family member in Sweden (Nicklas Forslöw, my 3rd cousin Unni's nephew & my 3rd cousin Ingrid´s son) has developed an app that will mean:
The end of the shaky mobile clips
The shaky and flapping mobilfilmklippens time is past. In Linköping, researchers have developed a special application that stabilizes the picture, they call it "Dollycam".- The film is shaky, it is that simple digital cameras are rolling shutter, and that they are often hand-held, says Per-Erik Forssén, associate professor at Linköping University.
Rolling shutter, he explains, means that the image is read line by line, and that is what causes the shaking.
- With a global shutter, which is available in professional cameras, read instead the entire image at once, says Per-Erik Forss.
What Dollycam do, it is simply that it adjusts the movie, image by image, so that the tremors disappear.
- Then make a video stabilizer for camera movements, and thus the movements smooth, says Per-Erik Forss.
Is the big differenceThe technology was developed in conjunction with a research project on the rolling shutter.
- When the technician was developed, then we asked ourselves was this type of shutter is. In all cell phones, it hit us, says Per-Erik Forss.
Dollycam demonstrated for Corren. Side by side playing the same video up, a girl running around a field. The first clip is stabilized, the other not.
- As you can see, it's a big difference, says Per-Erik Forss.
Software, Per-Erik Forssén developed together with Erik Ringaby, PhD, and civil engineers Gustav Hanning and Nicklas Forslöw.
- My and Gustav's thesis was to develop an application, says Nicklas Forslöw.
Hope for cooperationIt's then a week to access free, and only on Friday had 1500 users have downloaded the application.
- There is also a version that you pay for, then you avoid our small watermark, Dollycam, at the corner of the films, says Per-Erik Forss.
Patents pending in the U.S., and Forskarpatent in Uppsala has already established that technology is one of its kind.
