Illustration of Motion in Images Camera vibrations lead to misalignments of ROIs (PFC RT protection) = false alarms or worth missed alarms Image stabilization is a mandatory step for heat flux deposit analysis based on Tsurf(t)-Tsurf(t-1) estimations
Image Stabilization Important factors for method selection Deformation type: planar (homothety), non-planar Target application: real-time processing, off-line analysis Data quality and variability: noise level, pixel intensity changes, image entropy Required precision level: pixel, sub-pixel Applications in tokamaks (non-exhaustive list) Motion amplitude Target application Precision required Difficulty JET KL7 wide-angle 5-10 pixels (camera vibrations) Hot spot detection PFC protection pixel low image entropy windowed up to 15 pixels (disruptions) Physics analysis (e.g. heat load during disruptions…) pixel intensity changes JET KL9 divertor tiles <1 pixel (sensor affected by magnetic fields) Physics analysis (power deposit influx) sub-pixel low resolution, slow motion, aliasing

Principle of Fourier-based Correlation Let Iref a reference image, It an image at time t and DFT the Discrete 2D Fourier transform such as It ( x , y ) = Iref ( x-x0 , y-y0 ) Iref It max (NCC(Iref, It)) NCC(Iref, It) NCC is the Normalized Cross Correlation figure (image) and the position of the peak gives the coordinates of the translation ( x0 , y0 )
Sub-pixel Precision Up-sample k times the DFT of NCC (trigonometric interpolation): The peak coordinates ( x0 , y0 ) give F the translation with 1/k pixel of precision:
Reference Image Updating Goal: maintaining a good reliability of the motion estimator (NCC peak value) while image appearance changes during the pulse.
Reference Image Updating Solution: use the NCC peak value to trigger the update of Iref such as: update Iref update Iref update Iref update Iref NCC peak too low, no Iref update

Conclusion Summary Outlook Complex IR scenes require a new approach for reliable data analysis including image stabilization and 3D mapping. A robust and fast image stabilization algorithm with sub-pixel precision has been proposed. A first demonstration of 3D model for IR data analysis has been successfully carried out at JET on the wide-angle ITER-like viewing system (KL7). An integrated software (PINUP) implementing these features is available for users upon request. Outlook Test of the stabilization algorithm on visible imaging data (JET KL8) with rotation compensation Full integration of 3D scene models into PINUP Improvement of image processing algorithms (e.g. hot spot detection) with 3D information
