1. A method of obtaining stable video images of a scene using a video camera, said method comprising: receiving a first source frame and a second source frame, wherein said first source frame and said second source frame respectively represent a first image and a second image of a scene captured at different time instances; generating a first subsampled frame from said first source frame, and a second subsampled frame from said second source frame; computing a displacement of said second image relative to said first image by examining said first subsampled frame and said second subsampled frame; and shifting said second source frame by opposite of said displacement.
