Abstract

The method includes for each current pair of first and second successive video images determining movement between the two images. The determining includes a phase of testing homography model hypotheses on the movement by a RANSAC type algorithm operating on a set of points in the first image and first assumed corresponding points in the second image so as to deliver one of the homography model hypothesis that defines the movement. The test phase includes a test of first homography model hypotheses of the movement obtained from a set of second points in the first image and second assumed corresponding points in the second image. At least one second homography model hypothesis is obtained from auxiliary information supplied by an inertial sensor and representative of a movement of the image sensor between the captures of the two successive images of the pair.
