1. A system comprising:
- anti-aliasing logic generating a dither signal for anti-aliasing an image;
an image stabilizing subsystem generating an image stabilizing signal for stabilizing the image; and
at least one actuator drive operatively associated with at least one optical element in a camera, the at least one actuator drive moving the at least one optical element during exposure of the image according to a control signal based on a combination of the dither signal and the image stabilizing signal, andwherein the control signal based on a combination of the dither signal and the image stabilizing signal is applied variably for short exposure times and for long exposure times.

Abstract
Systems and method for implementing anti-aliasing with image stabilizing subsystems for cameras are disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment the method may comprise characterizing motion of a camera, characterizing aliasing for an image being photographed by the camera, and moving at least one optical element in the camera during exposure of the image for both stabilizing and anti-aliasing the image.
