Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An image stabilizing apparatus for correcting an image which is shaken due to a movement of a camera. The image stabilizing apparatus includes an image adjusting unit that includes: an image analyzing unit which compares an image frame currently input with a reference image, and if the currently input image frame is shaken, extracts a representative direction and a representative magnitude of the shaking; and an image moving unit which moves the currently input image frame by the representative magnitude in a direction opposite to the representative direction.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An image stabilizing apparatus comprising: at least one hardware processor which implements: an image adjusting unit which: sets a characterizing point checking region in a currently input image frame, compares the currently input image frame with a reference image to determine whether the currently input image frame is shaken, based on the reference image and the characterizing point checking region, and adjusts the currently input image frame by a sh…
