Abstract
An image capture system for enhanced electronic image stabilization (EIS) includes an image capture device and an optical assembly. The image capture device includes an image sensor, a coupling mechanism, and a processor. The optical assembly includes a group of optical elements that are used project an image onto the image sensor. The processor performs EIS. The optical assembly is used to enhance EIS of the image capture device.
Claims20
An image capture device, comprising:
- an image sensor;
- a coupling mechanism configured to receive an optical assembly, the optical assembly including a group of optical elements, wherein the group of optical elements is configured to project an image on the image sensor;
- a processor;
- and
- a non-volatile computer-readable medium storing electronic image stabilization (EIS) instructions which, when executed by the processor, effectuates EIS operation of the image capture device;
- wherein the processor is further configured to adjust the EIS operation based on the optical assembly.
