  • Patent number: 12356744
    Abstract: A color filter apparatus includes a two-dimensional array of an N×M pattern of light sensitive elements with a plurality of I×J pixel groups. A 2×2 pixel group includes a first color filter of a first color that is a primary color and a second color filter of a second color that consists of green content and one other color. When the first color is green, the second color includes another primary color, but not a third primary color. When the first color is not green, the second color includes the first color.

  • Patent number: 9900512
    Abstract: An apparatus including an image sensor configured to capture an image and optics, wherein the image sensor and optics align along an optical axis; optical image stabilization circuitry configured to determine and apply a target optical adjustment to compensate during capture of an image, for movement of the optical axis as a consequence of detected movement of the apparatus; post-capture image stabilization circuitry configured to process the captured image using a residual optical adjustment to obtain a compensated captured image, wherein the residual optical adjustment depends upon a difference between a measured optical adjustment, achieved during capture of the image, and the determined target optical adjustment.

    Abstract: The application concerns a method and a technical equipment for multiframe capturing. In the method a level of motion in a target to be captured is determined (402); capture parameters to be used in multiple frame capture of the target are adapted according to the determined level of motion (405); and the multiple frame capture is performed with the capture parameters (410). The application also concerns an apparatus and computer program.
