Miniature Air Vehicles (MAVs) equipped with lightweight, inexpensive cameras have recently been employed in a great variety of missions due to their increased capability and continued affordability. Unfortunately, MAVs often experience unintended motions due to atmospheric turbulence. As a result, MAV video streams are often characterized by high-frequency jitter, making it difficult for a human operator to obtain information from the video. This paper describes a tool, operating on a mobile
