Abstract
There is disclosed an image pickup device comprising a motion detecting circuit for detecting the motion of the image, from an image signal obtained from an image pickup element, a motion sensor for physically detecting the motion of the device, a memory for storing the image signal, a motion correcting circuit for correcting the motion by shifting the image readout position from the memory according to the motion detected by the motion detecting circuit, and a control circuit for controlling the function of the motion correcting circuit according to the output of the motion sensor.
Claims15
An image pickup device comprising:
- image pickup means for taking the image of an object and generating an image signal;
- memory means for storing the image signal obtained by said image pickup means;
- motion detecting means for detecting the motion of the image, from the image signal obtained from said image pickup means;
- readout control means for reading the image signal from said memory means by controlling the readout address according to the result of detection by said motion detecting means;
- and
- blur detecting means for detecting the vibration of said image pickup means and controlling the function of said readout control means according to the result of said detection.
An image pickup device comprising:
- image pickup means for taking the image of an object and generating an image signal;
- blur detecting means for detecting the vibration of said image pickup means;
- filter means with variable filter characteristics, for passing a detection signal of said blur detecting means;
- output control means for controlling the output of said filter means;
- control means for controlling said filter means and said output control means according to said detection signal;
- and
- optical blur correcting means for optically correcting the blur of the image taken by said image pickup means, based on the output of said output control means.
