1. A characterizing point checking region setting unit comprising:
- a sample frame extract unit which extracts a plurality of image frames, obtained for a certain period of time, from image data obtained by photographing an object; and
a frame analyzing unit which detects a plurality of characterizing points in the extracted plurality of image frames, and sets a characterizing point checking region, which is used to check the detected characterizing points, in a currently input image frame,wherein the frame analyzing unit comprises;
a characterizing point detector which receives the plurality of image frames from the sample frame extract unit, and detects the plurality of characterizing points in the plurality of image frames;
a characterizing point classification unit which classifies the plurality of characterizing points into a plurality of clusters for each of the image frames;
a center point detector which detects a centroid point of the characterizing points in the plurality of image frames; and
a check region determination unit which sets the characterizing point checking region including a major cluster among the plurality of clusters based on the centroid point.

Abstract
Provided is an image stabilizing apparatus and method for correcting an image that is shaken due to a movement of a camera. The image stabilizing apparatus includes a characterizing point checking region setting unit including: a sample frame extract unit which extracts a plurality of image frames obtained for a certain period of time in image data obtained by photographing an object; and a frame analyzing unit which detects a plurality of characterizing points in the extracted plurality of image frames, and sets a characterizing point checking region which is used to check characterizing points in a currently input image frame.
