Abstract :
A compact electronic image stabilizer has been realized on the basis of: (1) scanning area selection of the imager, and (2) motion vector detection. The stabilization rate is 18 dB at 1 Hz. This system is suitable for compact video cameras, but the stabilization rate becomes poor at high frequency. Therefore, an advanced system was also designed
