Abstract
A computer accesses a feed of image frames from a camera. The computer determines, based on at least a first image frame from the feed, electronic image stabilization (EIS) data, and internal motion unit (IMU) data, a future image height. The computer enables or disables, for at least a second image frame from the feed, image lines on a sensor of the camera to obtain the determined future image height.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- accessing, by an image signal processor of an image capture device, images from an image sensor of the image capture device;
- determining, based on at least a first image from the images, a future image height based on electronic image stabilization (EIS) data and internal motion unit (IMU) data, wherein the IMU data is obtained in accordance with capturing the first image and the EIS data is obtained previous to capturing the first image;
- and
- enabling or disabling, for capturing at least a second image from the images, image lines of the image sensor to obtain the determined future image height.
An apparatus comprising:
- an image sensor, the image sensor comprising image lines;
- processing circuitry;
- and
- a memory storing instructions which, when executed by the processing circuitry, cause the processing circuitry to:
- access images from the image sensor;
- determine, based on at least a first image from the images, a future image height based on electronic image stabilization (EIS) data and internal motion unit (IMU) data, wherein the IMU data is obtained in accordance with capturing the first image and the EIS data is obtained previous to capturing the first image;
- and
- enable or disable, for capturing at least a second image from the images, at least one of the image lines to obtain the determined future image height.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by processing circuitry of an image capture device, cause the processing circuitry to:
- access images from an image sensor of the image capture device;
- determine, based on at least a first image from the images, a future image height based on electronic image stabilization (EIS) data and internal motion unit (IMU) data, wherein the IMU data is obtained in accordance with capturing the first image and the EIS data is obtained previous to capturing the first image;
- and
- enable or disable, for capturing at least a second image from the images, image lines of the image sensor to obtain the determined future image height.
