ABSTRACT
We are interested in generating novel video sequences from a ball's point of view for sports domains. Despite the challenge of extreme camera motion, we show that we can leverage the periodicity of spinning cameras to generate a stabilized ball point-of-view video. We present preliminary results of image stabilization and view synthesis from a single camera being hurled in the air at 600 RPM.

Video segmentation and stabilization for BallCam
AH '17: Proceedings of the 8th Augmented Human International ConferenceWe present a video stabilization algorithm for ball camera systems that undergo extreme egomotion during sports play. In particular, we focus on the BallCam system which is an American football embedded with an action camera at the tip of the ball. We ...
Experiencing the ball's POV for ballistic sports
AH '13: Proceedings of the 4th Augmented Human International ConferenceWe place a small wireless camera inside an American football to capture the ball's point-of-view during flight to augment a spectator's experience of the game of football. To this end, we propose a robust video synthesis algorithm that leverages the ...
