Electronic image stabilization frequency estimator

A non-transitory computer readable medium configured to store instructions for controlling electronic image stabilization, the instructions when executed by a processor cause the processor to:

• capture a video stream;
• determine an availability of a computational resource, the computational resource to perform the electronic image stabilization on one or more frames of the video stream;
• receive data from a gyroscope, the gyroscope connected to an imaging device, wherein the data from the gyroscope includes sensed motion of the imaging device;
• determine a baseline motion frequency threshold based on the availability of the computational resource;
• estimate a motion frequency of the imaging device during capture of the video stream from the data received from the gyroscope;
• compare the estimated motion frequency of the imaging device to the determined baseline motion frequency threshold;
• perform, in response to the estimated motion frequency meeting a first criteria based on the baseline motion frequency threshold, the electronic image stabilization on the one or more frames of the video stream;
• and
• disable, in response to the comparison that the estimated motion frequency meeting a second criteria based on the baseline motion frequency threshold, performing the electronic image stabilization on the one or more frames of the video stream.
