  • Publication number: 20230412754
    Abstract: A camera system captures an image in a source aspect ratio and applies a transformation to the input image to scale and warp the input image to generate an output image having a target aspect ratio different than the source aspect ratio. The output image has the same field of view as the input image, maintains image resolution, and limits distortion to levels that do not substantially affect the viewing experience. In one embodiment, the output image is non-linearly warped relative to the input image such that a distortion in the output image relative to the input image is greater in a corner region of the output image than a center region of the output image.

  • Patent number: 11317024
    Abstract: Disclosed are a system and a method for providing electronic image stabilization (EIS). The method comprises estimating a motion frequency of an imaging device during capture of media using data received from the imaging device, comparing the estimated motion frequency of the imaging device to a baseline motion frequency threshold, and performing, in response to the estimated motion frequency meeting a first criteria based on the baseline motion frequency threshold, electronic image stabilization on the media.

  • Patent number: 10205879
    Abstract: Disclosed are a system and a method for determining enabling or disabling electronic image stabilization (EIS) for a video frame. An image sensor of a camera system captures a video stream that comprises a plurality of video frames. An image processor determines availability of a computational resource that may process application of EIS on each video frame. Simultaneously, the image processor receives motion data of the camera system from a gyroscope. Based on the computational resource availability, a motion frequency threshold is determined. Based on the gyroscope motion data, a motion frequency of each video frame is estimated. The estimated motion frequency is compared to the determined motion frequency threshold. If the estimated motion frequency is greater than the determined motion frequency threshold, application of EIS is disabled. If the estimated motion frequency is less than or equal to the determined motion frequency threshold, application of EIS is enabled.
