ELECTRONIC DEVICE PERFORMING IMAGE STABILIZATION AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18075750 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE PERFORMING IMAGE STABILIZATION AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device with a camera that includes a lens assembly and a sensor to detect camera movement. A processor is connected to the camera and sensor to determine exposure value, obtain image frames, and determine image stabilization strength based on movement information. Video digital image stabilization (VDIS) is then performed on the image frames.
- The electronic device includes a camera with a lens assembly and a sensor to detect camera movement.
- A processor is connected to the camera and sensor to determine the exposure value for photography.
- Image frames are obtained based on the exposure value.
- Movement information on the camera or lens assembly is obtained using the sensor while capturing image frames.
- The processor determines the image stabilization strength based on the exposure value and movement information.
- Video digital image stabilization (VDIS) is performed on the image frames using the determined image stabilization strength.
Potential Applications
- This technology can be applied in smartphones, digital cameras, or other electronic devices with cameras to improve image stabilization during photography or video recording.
- It can be used in action cameras or drones to capture stable footage even in shaky or dynamic environments.
- The technology can also be utilized in surveillance systems to enhance the clarity of video recordings.
Problems Solved
- Camera shake or movement can result in blurry or distorted images, especially in low-light conditions or when capturing fast-moving subjects.
- This technology solves the problem of image instability by detecting camera or lens movement and applying digital image stabilization techniques to compensate for it.
- It ensures that the captured images or videos are clear and stable, improving the overall quality of the content.
Benefits
- The electronic device with this technology provides improved image stabilization, resulting in sharper and more professional-looking photographs and videos.
- Users can capture high-quality footage even in challenging conditions, such as during sports activities or in low-light environments.
- The technology enhances the user experience by reducing the need for additional stabilizing equipment or post-processing techniques.
- It allows for smoother video playback and better viewing experience.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device of an embodiment of the present document may include a camera including a lens assembly, at least one sensor configured to detect a movement of the camera or the lens assembly, and a processor electrically connected to the camera and the at least one sensor. The processor may determine an exposure value that will be applied when photographing using the camera, obtain image frames, based on the exposure value, obtain movement information on the camera or the lens assembly by using the at least one sensor while the image frames are being obtained, determine an image stabilization strength, based on the exposure value and the movement information, and perform video digital image stabilization (VDIS) for the image frames, based on the image stabilization strength.
