Image processing apparatus and a method to compensate for shaking during image capture
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An image processing apparatus, comprising:
- an image capture device configured to generate a video image containing an image shake caused by a shake of the image capture device;
a region selector configured to select, from the video image, a laterally elongated region for detecting a vertical shake but not for detecting a lateral shake or a vertically elongated region for detecting a lateral shake but not for detecting a vertical shake;
a shake detector configured to detect an amount of the image shake within the laterally elongated region or the vertically elongated region; and
an image compensator configured to compensate the video image based on the amount of the image shake to cancel the image shake.

Abstract
An image processing apparatus comprises an image capture device which generates a video image containing an image shake caused by a shake of the image capture device, a region selector which selects a given image region used for detecting the image shake, a shake detector which detects an amount of the image shake within the given image region, and an image compensator which compensates the video image based on the amount of the image shake to cancel the image shake.
