  • Patent number: 11975263
    Abstract: Systems and methods for image stabilization of video imagery generated by applications are disclosed. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include executable instructions to receive a video stream from an application executed on the IHS, identify a level of jitter in the video stream, and process the video stream by re-positioning imagery in the video stream to compensate for the jitter. The instructions may then display the processed video stream on a display. The display displays the processed video stream in place of the video stream generated by the application.

A subpixel optics assembly including an optical lens may be formed over the at least one transparent refraction structure. Each transparent refraction structure may reduce the tilt angle of light that propagate downward into the photodetectors, and increases total internal reflection of light and increase the efficiency of the photodetectors.
