Stabilizer Class

class Stabilizer:
    """
    This is an auxiliary class that enables Video Stabilization for vidgear with minimalistic latency, and at the expense
    of little to no additional computational requirements.

    The basic idea behind it is to tracks and save the salient feature array for the given number of frames and then uses
    these anchor point to cancel out all perturbations relative to it for the incoming frames in the queue. This class relies
    heavily on **Threaded Queue mode** for error-free & ultra-fast frame handling.
