  • Publication number: 20240348921
    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.

  • Patent number: 11778322
    Abstract: An electronic image stabilization (EIS) method includes: obtaining video frames derived from an output of an image sensor, wherein each of the video frames has a full field of view (FOV) of the image sensor; obtaining motion information of the video frames; dynamically estimating, by a processing circuit, EIS margins according to FOV variation of a plurality of cropped images within the video frames respectively; and applying stabilization correction to the cropped images according to the motion information and the EIS margins, to generate a plurality of stabilized images.
