Phase-Based Video Motion Processing

See results, descriptions and implementation details here.

This is an incomplete Python re-implementation of the 2013 SIGGRAPH paper by Wadhwa, Rubinstein, Durand, and Freeman. Code provided by original authors can be found here.

Omitted features: (1) radial filter for quarter-octave pyramid, (2) smoothing of the temporally filtered phases, (3) attenuating motion in temporal stop-band, (4) handling videos with large motion.
