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.
