Motion blur reduction and compensation
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- monitoring motion of a camera;
selecting, based on the monitored motion, at least one exposure boundary for a photograph;
characterizing motion of the camera during the exposure of the photograph; and
performing digital image processing based on the characterized motion on the photograph to compensate for blur caused by the characterized motion.

Abstract
A method and apparatus are disclosed for reducing motion blur in photographs. In one example embodiment, a camera includes logic configured to monitor motion of the camera. The logic selects, based on the camera motion, a starting time, and ending time, or both for a photographic exposure such that extreme motion blur is avoided. The logic applies digital image processing to the resulting photograph to compensate for any residual motion blur that occurs.

18. A camera, comprising:
-
a motion sensing element producing a signal indicative of motion of the camera; and
logic receiving the signal, the logic configured to select, based on the camera motion, at least one exposure boundary for a photographic exposure, characterize the camera motion during the photographic exposure, and perform digital image processing on a resulting photograph based on the characterized motion, the image processing compensating for motion blur in the photograph. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
