Abstract
Implementations generally provide physically based camera motion compensation. In some implementations, a method includes detecting vibrations at an image sensor of a camera. The method further includes determining a vibration signal from the vibrations, wherein the vibration signal includes one or more of a horizontal component and a vertical component. The method further includes sending the vibration signal to one or more actuators, wherein the actuators dampen the vibrations.
Claims18
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- logic encoded in one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media for execution by the one or more processors and when executed operable to cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- detecting vibrations at an image sensor of a camera;
- determining a vibration signal from the vibrations, wherein the vibration signal includes one or more of a horizontal component and a vertical component;
- adjusting a phase angle of the vibration signal based on a lag between when the vibrations were detected and when one or more actuators are placed in motion;
- and
- sending the vibration signal to the one or more actuators, wherein the actuators dampen the vibrations.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium with program instructions stored thereon, the program instructions when executed by one or more processors are operable to cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- detecting vibrations at an image sensor of a camera;
- determining a vibration signal from the vibrations, wherein the vibration signal includes one or more of a horizontal component and a vertical component;
- adjusting a phase angle of the vibration signal based on a lag between when the vibrations were detected and when one or more actuators are placed in motion;
- and
- sending the vibration signal to the one or more actuators, wherein the actuators dampen the vibrations.
