Abstract

An imaging apparatus for capturing stabilized digital video, includes a user interface for displaying a preview of the field of view of the imaging apparatus and to receive user input, an image sensor for capturing digital video data for a video, a lens comprising one or more lens elements, wherein the one or more lens elements include at least one movable lens element that is movable relative to the imaging apparatus, and a video image processor to receive the video data and the motion data. The processor calculates shift amounts for the sequence of images based at least in part on the motion data generated by the motion sensors, modifies the sequence of images using the calculated shift amounts, combines the modified sequence of images to obtain a stabilized video. A memory connected to the video image processor stores the stabilized video.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An imaging apparatus for capturing stabilized digital video, comprising:
 a user interface for displaying a preview of the field of view of the imaging apparatus and to receive user input;   an image sensor for capturing digital video data for a video, wherein the video comprises a sequence of images;   one or more motion sensors for detecting motion of the apparatus during capturing of the video data and generating motion data representing the motion of the apparatus;   a lens comprising one or more lens elements, wherein the one or more lens elements include at least one movable lens element that is movable relative to the imaging apparatus;   a video image processor communicatively connected to the image sensor and the motion sensors to receive the video data and the motion data, the processor configured to:   calculate shift amounts for the sequence of images based at least in part on the motion data generated by the motion sensors;   modify the sequence of images using the calculated shift amounts; and   combine the modified sequence of images to obtain a stabilized video; and   a memory connected to the video image processor for storing the stabilized video.
