Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method of compensating for camera shake includes reading a sequential series of images from an image sensing array, establishing a sharpness value for each of the sequential series of images, and performing an image selection based upon each sharpness value. The sharpness value is calculated for each image of the sequential series thereof during the reading.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
That which is claimed: 1. A method of compensating for camera shake comprising: reading a sequential series of images from an image sensing array, using a controller; storing image data from the image sensor array into a buffer; calculating statistics on the image data, using the controller, to analyze a frequency variation across the image sensor array; after the buffer is filled to a predetermined point, establishing a sharpness value for each image of the sequential serie…
