Abstract
This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for image processing that support improved image quality from reduced artifacts and wobbles. In a first aspect, a method of image processing includes receiving motion data regarding movement of a mobile device; determining a first image sensor configuration based on the motion data; and configuring an image sensor with the first image sensor configuration. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
Claims30
A method, comprising:
- receiving motion data regarding movement of a mobile device;
- determining a first image sensor configuration based on the motion data;
- and
- configuring an image sensor with the first image sensor configuration, wherein:
- determining the first image sensor configuration comprises determining a margin for cropping a scene at the image sensor;
- and
- the first image sensor configuration is based on the margin for cropping the scene.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a memory storing processor-readable code;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory, the at least one processor configured to execute the processor-readable code to cause the at least one processor to perform operations including:
- receiving motion data regarding movement of a mobile device;
- determining a first image sensor configuration based on the motion data;
- and
- configuring an image sensor with the first image sensor configuration, wherein:
- determining the first image sensor configuration comprises determining a margin for cropping a scene from image data received from the image sensor;
- and
- the first image sensor configuration is based on the margin for cropping the scene.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving motion data regarding movement of a mobile device;
- determining a first image sensor configuration based on the motion data;
- and
- configuring an image sensor with the first image sensor configuration, wherein:
- determining the first image sensor configuration comprises determining a margin for cropping a scene from image data received from the image sensor;
- and
- the first image sensor configuration is based on the margin for cropping the scene.
An image capture device, comprising:
- a display;
- a motion sensor;
- a first camera comprising a first image sensor;
- a memory storing processor-readable code;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory, to the motion sensor, to the display, and to the first camera, the at least one processor configured to execute the processor-readable code to cause the at least one processor to perform operations including:
- receiving motion data regarding movement of the image capture device from the motion sensor;
- determining a first image sensor configuration based on the motion data;
- configuring the first image sensor with the first image sensor configuration;
- receiving image data from the first image sensor while the first image sensor is configured with the first image sensor configuration;
- applying image stabilization to the image data to determine output image frames;
- and
- displaying a preview image on the display based on the output image frames.
