Image stabilization with adaptive shutter control

A method for image stabilization, the method comprising:

• activating a shutter of an image sensor at a commencement of a shutter period, the shutter period having a predetermined duration;
• obtaining movement measurement information during the shutter period, the movement measurement information indicative of a movement of the image sensor;
• and
• adjusting the shutter period based on the movement measurement information, wherein adjusting the shutter period comprises:
• deactivating the shutter of the image sensor in response to a determination that the movement measurement information exceeds a movement threshold;
• and
• reactivating the shutter of the image sensor in response to a determination that the movement measurement information returns within the movement threshold.

A camera system with adaptive shutter control, the camera system comprising:

• means for obtaining movement measurement information during a shutter period, the movement measurement information indicative of a movement of an image sensor;
• means for adjusting the shutter period based on the movement measurement information;
• means for deactivating the shutter of the image sensor in response to a determination that the movement measurement information exceeds a movement threshold;
• and
• means for reactivating the shutter of the image sensor in response to a determination that the movement measurement information returns within the movement threshold.
