Abstract
Provided is an image stabilization device including an image capturing unit for capturing an image of a face of a user, a motion detection unit for detecting motion of the face whose image has been captured by the image capturing unit, a motion prediction unit for predicting motion of the face to be detected at a next time point, based on the motion of the face detected in time-series by the motion detection unit, an image data display unit for displaying image data, and a motion correction unit for performing control on the image data display unit to move the image data in a direction of cancelling the motion of the face predicted by the motion prediction unit.
Claims6
An image stabilization device comprising:
- an image capturing unit for capturing an image of a face of a user;
- a motion detection unit for detecting motion of the face whose image has been captured by the image capturing unit;
- a motion prediction unit for predicting motion of the face to be detected at a next time point, based on the motion of the face detected in time-series by the motion detection unit;
- an image data display unit for displaying image data;
- and
- a motion correction unit for performing control on the image data display unit to move the image data in a direction of cancelling the motion of the face predicted by the motion prediction unit.
An image stabilization method comprising the steps of:
- capturing an image of a face of a user;
- detecting motion of the face whose image has been captured in the step of capturing;
- predicting motion of the face to be detected at a next time point, based on the motion of the face detected in time-series in the step of detecting;
- displaying image data;
- and
- performing control, in the step of displaying, to move the image data in a direction of cancelling the motion of the face predicted in the step of predicting.
A program for causing a computer to realize:
- an image capturing function of capturing an image of a face of a user;
- a motion detection function of detecting motion of the face whose image has been captured by the image capturing function;
- a motion prediction function of predicting motion of the face to be detected at a next time point, based on the motion of the face detected in time-series by the motion detection function;
- an image data display function of displaying image data;
- and
- a motion correction function of performing control, in relation to the image data display function, to move the image data in a direction of cancelling the motion of the face predicted by the motion prediction function.
