Image stabilization apparatus for telescopic devices

An image stabilization system for telescopic devices uses a method of selecting a suitable, stationary reference image. The user of the instrument views a circular image and a translucent ring concentric to and at an outer edge within the circular image. A translucent circle is superimposed within the width of the concentric ring so as to be able to move along the concentric ring to obtain a reference image. In order to select the reference image, the translucent circle travels, by viewer command, around the concentric ring until a suitable stationary image is observed within the translucent circle. Translation of the reference image within the concentric ring may be reactivated on command as many times as required to get an optimally stationary reference image. Image matching algorithms are then used to determine if the viewing area has moved by keying on and matching the vector movement of the reference image. This image stabilization system is particularly suited to hand-held binoculars or similar equipment. It permits the use of hand-held binoculars at very high magnification.

Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for image stabilization using an adaptive Kalman filter. The feature point tracker extracts a feature point from a reference video frame among a plurality of image frames constituting the input original image, and searches for a corresponding point corresponding to the feature point on the current video frame among image frames temporally continuous to the reference video frame. The motion estimator measures the global motion of the current video frame based on the coordinates of the feature point on the reference video frame and the coordinates of the corresponding point corresponding to the feature point on the current video frame, and temporally measures the video frame input for a preset measurement time. A Kalman filter whose gain is determined according to the frequency at which the sign of the motion between adjacent image frames changes, estimates the intentional motion from which the noise component due to the vibration is removed from the global motion. The motion compensator calculates an unintentional motion representing a noise component based on a difference between global motion and intentional motion, and generates a resultant video frame by compensating unintentional motion with respect to the current video frame. According to the present invention, the motion of the image can be accurately estimated by the adaptive Kalman filter using the feature ...

Hybrid image stabilization for video camera

The invention relates to a method of stabilizing the images of a scene, acquired by means of an observation device of an imaging system, comprising the step of digital processing of a stream of successive images. It comprises a step of acquiring gyrometric measurements by means of at least one gyrometric sensor secured to the observation device, of using these gyrometric measurements to determine so-called approximate shifts undergone between successive images, and the image processing step comprising a sub-step of using the approximate shifts and the image stream acquired to determine so-called fine shifts undergone between successive images.

Pulsed control of camera flash

Input from a user is received, to take a picture. A camera flash is signaled to produce multiple flash pulses during a single shutter cycle of the picture. The amplitudes of at least two of the flash pulses are different relative to each other. The picture is stored, including in its metadata information that describes the variable amplitude of the flash pulses that illuminated the scene when taking the picture. The information describing the variable amplitude of the flash pulses is used to deblur the picture. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
