A technique for correcting the effects of camera shake

A major concern in security systems is the frequency of false alarms occurring. False alarms reduce the confidence in the system's ability to detect intruders and are extremely expensive in terms of handling costs. One of the main causes of false alarms is camera shake due to wind movement, or vibrations affecting the post on which the camera mount is located. The authors describe the method developed on transputer based image processing systems to detect and counteract the effects of camera shake such that, its contribution to false alarms is eliminated.<
