One of the things I did during my stint at Sony was video stabilization for their desktop nonlinear video editing software. We were hoping to not only stabilize (which is a pretty straightforward thing to do these days) but also use the motion data to inform a deconvolution to clean up motion blurred frames. Alas, my project ran out of time and we ended up licensing a third party stabilizer.

But yes, most image processing techniques like this lend themselves to video. This is something I hope my startup will someday be able to integrate into our collaborative video editor...

I should clarify: many things like this lend themselves to video, but not directly. As ibuildthings pointed out you have to be very careful becuase for video the human eye is very sensitive to the sharp edge artifacts algorithms like this can produce; much more so than it is to motion blur.

Yep, I can imagine continuity problems, flicker etc. could show up in video.
