IMAGE STABILIZATION WITH USER FEEDBACK
First Claim
1. An apparatus to facilitate image stabilization, the apparatus comprising:
- an image sensor to acquire an image of a scene over an exposure period;
a movement detector coupled to the image sensor, the movement detector to compute a movement measurement of the image sensor during the exposure period; and
a digital processor coupled to the movement detector, the digital processor to provide feedback to a user during the exposure period, wherein the feedback is based on the movement measurement.

Abstract
An apparatus to facilitate image stabilization with user feedback is described. An embodiment of the apparatus includes an image sensor, a movement detector, and a digital processor. The image sensor acquires an image of a scene over an exposure period. The movement detector is coupled to the image sensor. The movement detector computes a movement measurement of the image sensor during the exposure period. The digital processor is coupled to the movement detector. The digital processor provides feedback to a user during the exposure period. The feedback is based on the movement measurement. Embodiments of the apparatus provide a simpler and less costly implementation for image stabilization.
