  • Patent number: 8049785
    Abstract: An optimum image selection method for a digital photograph device selecting an optimum image by driving a vibration detection sensor mechanism is provided. In continuous photography mode, as soon as capturing an image, it detects and records the vibration amount of the image, and then compares the presently detected vibration amount with the vibration amount of the image which is stored formerly, and if the vibration amount detected presently is smaller, the image captured presently will be stored, so the clearest image will be distinguished and retained immediately by using the vibration amount.

  • Patent number: 8018495
    Abstract: A method for compensating movement of an image capturing apparatus is applied in a photographing mode whose exposure time is greater than the safe shutter time. The method includes the steps of: capturing a long exposure image under the desired exposure time and a short exposure image with an exposure time smaller than or equal to the safe shutter time, and recording a camera motion signal in the exposure time of the long exposure image. The image-shift signal is used to reconstruct the short exposure image and form a reconstructed image, and an image analyzing algorithm is utilized to extract the reconstructed image and the short exposure image of a different frequency component. Finally, different frequency components of the image are fused according to the specific ratios to produce a clear output image.

  • Patent number: 7856178
    Abstract: A method for compensating camera movement solves the problem of the captured image becoming blurred due to involuntary camera movement in the following way. Firstly, a camera with a look-up table is provided. Next, after a trigger signal is received, the camera movement and the environmental brightness are detected to generate a movement value and a brightness index. A compensation mode and a set of parameters that correspond to the movement value and the brightness index are selected from the look-up table. Finally, when an image-capturing signal is received, the movement compensation modules of the camera are driven by referring to the compensation mode and the parameters to capture a sharp image in a best mode.

  • Publication number: 20100123806
    Abstract: An image compensation method adapted to reduce noise of a first image captured by an image acquisition device at a high ISO mode. The image compensation method includes the following steps. A Bayer pattern is obtained from the first image. A green pixel signal, a low-resolution binned original luminance signal, and an original chrominance signal are respectively generated according to the Bayer pattern. A high-resolution analog luminance signal is generated by using the green pixel signal. The high-resolution analog luminance signal and the low-resolution binned original luminance signal are combined, and a compensated high-resolution luminance signal is output. A second image is generated by combining the compensated high-resolution luminance signal and the original low-noise chrominance signal.
