In this paper we present RStab a novel framework for video stabilization that integrates 3D multi-frame fusion through volume rendering. Departing from conventional methods we introduce a 3D multi-frame perspective to generate stabilized images addressing the challenge of full-frame generation while preserving structure. The core of our RStab framework lies in Stabilized Rendering (SR) a volume rendering module fusing multi-frame information in 3D space. Specifically SR involves warping features and colors from multiple frames by projection fusing them into descriptors to render the stabilized image. However the precision of warped information depends on the projection accuracy a factor significantly influenced by dynamic regions. In response we introduce the Adaptive Ray Range (ARR) module to integrate depth priors adaptively defining the sampling range for the projection process. Additionally we propose Color Correction (CC) assisting geometric constraints with optical flow for accurate color aggregation. Thanks to the three modules our RStab demonstrates superior performance compared with previous stabilizers in the field of view (FOV) image quality and video stability across various datasets.
