CONTEXTUAL IMAGE STABILIZATION
First Claim
1. An image stabilization system, comprising:
- a detector configured to detect images;
an actuator coupled to the detector;
a sensor coupled to the detector and configured to detect motion of the detector; and
an electronic processor in communication with the sensor and the actuator, wherein the electronic processor is configured to;
(a) receive information about motion of the detector from the sensor;
(b) determine components of the motion of the detector, and associate a class with each of the determined components;
(c) identify components to be compensated from among the determined components based on the associated classes; and
(d) generate a control signal that causes the actuator to adjust a position of at least a portion of the detector to compensate for the identified components.
