Method and apparatus for correcting distortion in an image due to rotational motion of an image capture device occurring while the image is being captured
First Claim
1. A system operable to correct for distortion in a captured image, the distortion in the captured image having been caused by a rotation of an image capture device while the captured image was being captured by the image capture device, the system comprising:
- an orientation sensor configured to perform a first measurement concurrently with the image capture device capturing the captured image;
a rotation module configured to generate, based on the first measurement, a rotation matrix;
a correction module configured to, based on the rotation matrix, produce a corrected image by correcting the distortion in the captured image caused by the rotation of the image capture device; and
a restoration module configured to selectively revert the corrected image back to the captured image based on (i) the corrected image and (ii) the rotation matrix.

Abstract
A system is operable to correct for distortion in an image. The distortion in the image was caused by rotation of an image capture device while the image was being captured by the image capture device. The system includes an orientation sensor configured to perform a first measurement concurrently with the image capture device capturing the image. The system further includes a rotation module configured to generate, based on the first measurement, a rotation matrix. The system further includes a correction module configured to, based on the rotation matrix, correct the distortion in the image caused by the rotation of the image capture device. The system further includes a restoration module configured to selectively reverse the correction of the distortion in the image based on (i) the image as corrected by the correction module and (ii) the rotation matrix.

14. A method for correcting distortion in a captured image, the distortion in the captured image having been caused by a rotation of an image capture device while the captured image was being captured by the image capture device, the method comprising:
-
performing a first measurement using an orientation sensor concurrently with the captured image being captured; generating, based on the first measurement, a rotation matrix; producing a corrected image by correcting, based on the rotation matrix, the distortion in the captured image caused by the rotation of the image capture device; and selectively reverting the corrected image back to the captured image based on (i) the corrected image and (ii) the rotation matrix. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
