  • Publication number: 20100053343
    Abstract: An apparatus for correcting motion caused by hand shake performs hand shake correction in due consideration of both linear motion and rotation by detecting linear motion of a capturing device by comparing preceding and subsequent image frames and detecting rotation of the capturing device using a gyro sensor. The apparatus for correcting motion caused by hand shake may include a rotation detection unit detecting the amount of rotation of a capturing device by using a gyro sensor, a linear-motion detection unit comparing preceding and subsequent image frames generated by an image sensor unit to detect the amount of linear motion of the capturing device, and an output image determination unit correcting the detected amount of rotation and the detected amount of linear motion in an image frame input from the image sensor to generate a corrected output image frame.

  • Patent number: 7138695
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for packaging a pickup device, which is used for a digital optical instrument, and particularly a method for fabricating an image sensor module connected to a flexible PCB. The method according to the invention includes the steps of forming a printed circuit of a predetermined pattern on an upper surface of a transparent medium, forming a first bump and a second bump on the upper surface of the transparent medium, first bonding the first bump with a pattern of an image chip so as to be electrically connected to each other, secondly bonding the second bump with a circuit of a flexible PCB so as to be electrically connected to each other, and molding a rear surface of the flexible PCB, on which an image chip is mounted, by means of epoxy resin. The method according to the invention provides an effect of reducing weight, thickness, length and size of the module in comparison with the module fabricated under the conventional wire bonding method.
