CONTROL APPARATUS, IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS, LENS APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17981775 titled 'CONTROL APPARATUS, IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS, LENS APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a control apparatus for image stabilization that uses two image stabilization units.
- The determining unit in the apparatus determines a correction ratio between the first and second image stabilization units.
- The correction ratio is determined based on the distance to a movable end of the first image stabilization unit.
- As the distance to the movable end of the first unit decreases, the proportion of the second image stabilization unit in the correction ratio increases.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Camera stabilization systems: This technology can be used in cameras to stabilize images and reduce blurring caused by camera movement.
- Video recording devices: It can be implemented in video cameras or smartphones to improve the stability of recorded videos.
- Drones: This technology can be used in drone cameras to stabilize the captured footage and improve the quality of aerial videos.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Image stabilization: The control apparatus solves the problem of shaky or blurred images by providing an effective correction ratio between the two image stabilization units.
- Uneven stabilization: By adjusting the correction ratio based on the distance to the movable end, the apparatus ensures that the stabilization is evenly distributed across the image.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved image quality: The use of two image stabilization units and the adjustable correction ratio result in sharper and more stable images.
- Versatility: The control apparatus can be used in various devices, such as cameras, video recording devices, and drones, providing stabilization benefits across different applications.
- Enhanced user experience: Users can capture high-quality, stable images and videos without the need for additional stabilization equipment.
Original Abstract Submitted
A control apparatus configured to perform image stabilization using a first image stabilization unit and a second image stabilization unit includes a determining unit configured to determine a correction ratio between the first image stabilization unit and the second image stabilization unit. The determining unit determines the correction ratio between the first image stabilization unit and the second image stabilization unit such that a proportion of the second image stabilization unit in the correction ratio increases as a distance to a movable end of the first image stabilization unit decreases.
