    Abstract: An image processing device is provided. The device includes an electronic image stabilization (EIS) module and an image signal processing (ISP) module. The EIS module is configured to determine EIS information for a video frame based on motion information that corresponds to the video frame, wherein the EIS information is associated with the target region and the margin region of the video frame. The ISP module is configured to generate a processed video frame based on the EIS information by performing an ISP process only on the target region of the video frame and skipping the ISP process on the margin region of the video frame. The EIS module is further configured to generate a stabilized image based on the EIS information and the processed video frame.
