OPTICAL IMAGE STABILIZATION WITH ASYMMETRIC STROKE FOR CAMERA DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18099868 titled 'OPTICAL IMAGE STABILIZATION WITH ASYMMETRIC STROKE FOR CAMERA DEVICES

Simplified Explanation

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a camera device with optical image stabilization (OIS) having a range of motion that is asymmetric along two spatial dimensions. The camera device includes an image sensor, a lens assembly in an optical series with the image sensor, and an OIS assembly. The OIS assembly initiates a first motion of at least one of the image sensor and the lens assembly along a first direction parallel to a first axis, the first motion having a first range. The OIS assembly further initiates a second motion of at least one of the image sensor and the lens assembly along a second direction parallel to a second axis orthogonal to the first axis, the second motion having a second range different than the first range.

  • Camera device with optical image stabilization (OIS)
  • Asymmetric range of motion along two spatial dimensions
  • Image sensor and lens assembly in optical series
  • OIS assembly initiates motion along first and second directions
  • First motion along first axis with first range
  • Second motion along second axis with second range different than first range

Potential Applications

The technology could be applied in:

  • Smartphone cameras
  • Action cameras
  • Surveillance cameras

Problems Solved

  • Minimizing image blur in handheld photography
  • Improving image quality in low light conditions
  • Enhancing video stabilization during motion

Benefits

  • Enhanced image stabilization
  • Improved image quality
  • Better video recording capabilities

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing this technology for use in:

  • Smartphone manufacturers
  • Camera equipment companies
  • Security system providers

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art is the use of gyroscopic sensors in cameras for image stabilization. However, the asymmetric range of motion along two spatial dimensions as described in this patent application appears to be a novel feature.
