Integrated visual-inertial odometry and image stabilization for image processing

A method for image processing, the method comprising:

• receiving a first set of information, the first set of information being indicative of angular velocity and movement of a device based on a change in position of the device across a current frame captured by the device and a subsequent frame captured by the device;
• filtering the first set of information to compensate for unintentional movement of the device to generate a second set of information, the second set of information being indicative of angular velocity and movement of the device without unintentional movement;
• performing image stabilization on the current frame based on both the first set of information and the second set of information to generate an image stabilized current frame;
• and
• outputting, for display, the image stabilized current frame.

A computer-readable storage medium storing instructions thereon that when executed cause one or more processors to:

• receive a first set of information, the first set of information being indicative of angular velocity and movement of a device based on a change in position of the device across a current frame captured by the device and a subsequent frame captured by the device;
• filter the first set of information to compensate for unintentional movement of the device to generate a second set of information, the second set of information being indicative of angular velocity and movement of the device without unintentional movement;
• perform image stabilization on the current frame based on both the first set of information and the second set of information to generate an image stabilized current frame;
• and
• output, for display, the image stabilized current frame.

A device for image processing, the device comprising:

• means for receiving a first set of information, the first set of information being indicative of angular velocity and movement of the device based on a change in position of the device across a current frame captured by the device and a subsequent frame captured by the device;
• means for filtering the first set of information to compensate for unintentional movement of the device to generate a second set of information, the second set of information being indicative of angular velocity and movement of the device without unintentional movement;
• means for performing image stabilization on the current frame based on both the first set of information and the second set of information to generate an image stabilized current frame;
• and
• means for outputting, for display, the image stabilized current frame.
