Method for stabilizing a camera frame of a video sequence

A computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereupon which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:

• determine a candidate orientation for a crop frame for a current camera frame;
• determine that a first point on a boundary of the crop frame exceeds a boundary of the camera frame;
• determine, based on the first point on the boundary of the crop frame exceeding the boundary of the camera frame, a rotation of said first point to bring said first point within the boundary of said camera frame;
• update said candidate crop frame orientation according to said rotation;
• map image information from said camera frame to said crop frame in accordance with said updated candidate crop frame orientation;
• and
• display said crop frame.

An image capturing device comprising:

• an image processing pipeline;
• a memory;
• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more computer readable storage media communicatively coupled to the one or more processors and storing instructions that are executable by the one or more processors to:
• determine a candidate orientation for a crop frame for a current image capture device frame;
• determine that a first point on a boundary of the crop frame exceeds a boundary of the image capture device frame;
• determine, based on the first point on the boundary of the crop frame exceeding the boundary of the image capture device frame, a rotation of said first point to bring said first point within the boundary of said image capture device frame;
• update said candidate crop frame orientation according to said rotation;
• map image information from said image capture device frame to said crop frame in accordance with said updated candidate crop frame orientation;
• and
• display said crop frame.
