The videos used for our user study

Below we present direct pair comparison between two methods applied on the same video. The videos below were used to conduct our user study. This is related to Section 4 and 5 of the main paper.

Note: This HTML page is encoded using HTML5. The webpage also uses locally defined Javascript code to allow you to select different videos to view. Please make sure JavaScript is enabled.

We plot the lens positions over time and the effect on sharpness value for each video frame.
Total number of lens movements for each method is shown in the plot's legend.
Recall, SG stands for the Savitzky-Golay offline method, BLSTM is our online BLSTM model trained on the data produced by SG, and WMA is our online weighted moving average.

Note: During our user study we did not show the plots of the lens positions and sharpness value.
We present these plots only here for clarification and to show the updates on the lens position and sharpness value for each video frame.
