  • Patent number: 11611708
    Abstract: A method of operating a digital image stabilization apparatus including acquiring motion information by a first camera for capturing an image of a first field of view, controlling a prism of a second camera using the motion information, acquiring a main image and a peripheral image by a second camera for capturing an image of a second field of view, the second field of view being narrower than the first field of view, and generating a stabilized frame image related to the main image using the motion information and the peripheral image may be provided.

  • Publication number: 20220385841
    Abstract: An image sensor including an image signal processor and an operating method of the image sensor are provided. An image sensor may include a pixel array configured to convert a received optical signal into electrical signals, a readout circuit configured to analog-digital convert the electrical signals to generate image data, and an image signal processor configured to perform one-dimensional filtering in each of a first direction and a second direction on the image data to remove noise of the image data, the second direction being different than the first direction.

  • Publication number: 20220279127
    Abstract: An image signal processor may be configured to process an image based on simultaneously performing auto zoom and auto focus. An image signal processor may be configured to receive a first image from an image sensor may include processing circuitry configured to determine auto focus information on an object in the first image using a depth map, set a first area based on calculating a first outer point and a second outer point associated with the object using the depth map, set a second area based on a particular ratio that is determined based on the first outer point and the second outer point, and determine auto zoom information based on calculating a zoom ratio corresponding to a size of the second area.
