VIDEO IMAGE STABILIZATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18579643 titled 'VIDEO IMAGE STABILIZATION

Simplified Explanation: The patent application aims to reduce or eliminate camera motion blur during video capture by moving camera components to compensate for the motion.

  • Camera components are moved during each frame exposure to compensate for motion.
  • The camera component is moved back in the other direction between frame exposures.
  • These techniques can be used in live feed video environments where multiple electronic devices capture and display video simultaneously.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Reduction or elimination of camera motion blur during video capture.
  • Moving camera components to compensate for motion.
  • Live feed video environment compatibility.

Potential Applications:

  • Live streaming events.
  • Sports broadcasts.
  • Security surveillance systems.

Problems Solved:

  • Camera motion blur during video capture.
  • Maintaining clear and stable video footage.

Benefits:

  • Improved video quality.
  • Enhanced viewing experience.
  • Increased accuracy in surveillance systems.

Commercial Applications: Title: Motion Blur Reduction Technology for Live Video Feeds Potential commercial uses include:

  • Broadcasting companies for live events.
  • Security companies for surveillance systems.
  • Smartphone manufacturers for video recording features.

Questions about Motion Blur Reduction Technology: 1. How does the technology differentiate between intentional camera movements and unwanted motion blur? 2. What are the potential limitations of this technology in extreme motion scenarios?

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in image stabilization technology and real-time video processing for enhanced motion blur reduction.


Original Abstract Submitted

Various implementations disclosed herein reduce or eliminate camera motion blur during video capture by moving camera components to compensate for the motion. This may involve, for example, moving a camera component during each frame exposure to compensate for the motion (i.e., during image stabilization periods) and moving the camera component back in the other direction between the frame exposures (i.e., during re-initialization periods). The blur reduction techniques disclosed herein may be used in a live feed video environment in which one or more electronic devices simultaneously capture video via camera components and display the video as a live feed on a display.
