  • Publication number: 20190260943
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to methods for adjusting an image from a camera. The method includes receiving from an acceleration sensor initial motion data corresponding to first motion of the mobile device at a first time period; recording the initial motion data in memory; receiving from the acceleration sensor current motion data corresponding to second motion of the mobile device at a second time period; determining a change in motion data from the initial data to the current data corresponding to a change in motion of the user device between the time periods; comparing the change in motion data to a threshold, and based on the comparison, rotating an actuator coupled to the camera about a first actuator axis. The rotation of the actuator about the first actuator axis rotates the camera about a camera axis to compensate for the change in motion.

  • Publication number: 20190258144
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to systems and devices for adjusting an image from a mobile device with a motion adjustment module. The motion adjustment module includes: a camera; a first mount, coupled to the camera; a second mount, pivotally coupled to the first mount, such that the first mount pivots relative to the second mount; a third mount, pivotally coupled to the second mount; a first actuator in communication with a processing element, that pivots the first mount relative to the second mount about a first axis in response to a first signal received by the processing element from the acceleration sensor, wherein the processing element is in communication with the acceleration sensor; and a second actuator that pivots the second mount about a second axis in response to a second signal received by the processing element from the acceleration sensor.

  • Publication number: 20190260940
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to methods and systems for adjusting an image from a mobile device with a motion adjustment module. A method of adjusting a field of view of a camera in a mobile device during image capture is disclosed. The method includes detecting by a processing element an object within an image captured by the camera; determining by the processing element an object boundary surrounding the object; determining by the processing element a position of the object boundary relative to an image frame; determining by the processing element a distance from the object boundary to a selected region; comparing by the processing element the distance to a distance threshold, and based on the comparison; outputting by the processing element a control signal to adjust a physical position of the camera; and recording by the processing element a position of the actuator.
