  • Image stabilization for electronic devices such as cameras
    Patent number: 10812720
    Abstract: An electronic device includes an image sensor configured to receive light that is incident on the electronic device through a lens and generate image data, a gyroscope configured to generate rotation motion data of the electronic device, and an image stabilizer configured to generate translation motion data of the electronic device based on the image data received from the image sensor and to generate a stabilized image by compensating for a motion of the electronic device while capturing the image, such as vibration of a handheld device. The stabilized image is generated based on filtered translation motion data obtained by performing a first filtering operation on the translation motion data and filtered rotation motion data obtained by performing a second filtering operation on the rotation motion data received from the gyroscope.
