The article presents information on Video Image Stabilization and Registration (VISAR), a software algorithm that corrects for zoom, tilt, and jitter in flawed digital video. Users of this technology can dramatically improve videotape sequences and still images extracted from moving video. VISAR will enable homeowners, law enforcement, and others to dramatically enhance videotape sequences on desktop computers. VISAR was developed by researchers David Hathaway and Paul Meyer of the National Space Science and Technology Center at the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Marshall Space Flight Center. VISAR's development began years before 1996, when the Southeast Bomb Task Force unit of the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation requested help with video evidence of the bombing during the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. VISAR was featured on the January 26, 2002 edition of the television program "America's Most Wanted." The candidate video sequence must satisfy several fundamental requirements, before VISAR can be used.
