An electronic device according to the present invention, includes: a processor; and a memory storing a program which, when executed by the processor, causes the electronic device to: acquire an image by image sensing processing; set a part of the image as a specific region, wherein a position of the specific region can be changed; and detect a motion of an object included in the specific region; and perform control to display an indicator based on the detected motion of the object in a direction corresponding to a movement direction of the electronic device so that the indicator is superimposed and displayed at a position on the image based on the specific region.

Various embodiments include a camera voice coil motor (VCM) actuator configured to shift an image sensor along multiple axes. Some embodiments include a magnet and coil arrangement. Some embodiments include a position sensing arrangement. Some embodiments include a flexure arrangement. Some embodiments include a coil structure and coil carrier assembly.

An apparatus includes an imaging unit configured to acquire an image, a drive unit configured to drive the imaging unit, a control unit configured to control the drive unit, a detection unit configured to detect a blur of the acquired image, a correction unit configured to correct the detected blur of the image, an acquisition unit configured to acquire a drive velocity at which the drive unit drives the imaging unit, and a setting unit configured to set the detection unit. The setting unit sets the detection unit such that in a case where the drive velocity is in a resonance velocity range in which resonance occurs in the imaging unit, the detection unit detects the blur of the image at a first frequency band corresponding to a blur due to the resonance.

The present disclosure provides systems and methods that use and/or generate image files according to a novel microvideo image format. For example, a microvideo can be a file that contains both a still image and a brief video. The microvideo can include multiple tracks, such as, for example, a separate video track, audio track, and/or one or more metadata tracks. As one example track, the microvideo can include a motion data track that stores motion data that can be used (e.g., at file runtime) to stabilize the video frames. A microvideo generation system included in an image capture device can determine a trimming of the video on-the-fly as the image capture device captures the microvideo.

A method for controlling an image stabilization apparatus includes detecting a motion status of a handle of the image stabilization apparatus. A rotation of the handle is controlled by a rotary axis motor of the image stabilization apparatus. The method further includes controlling the rotary axis motor to stop rotating in response to the motion status of the handle being a free status in which the handle is not fixed and one portion of the image stabilization apparatus other than the handle is fixed.

In an image processing device, shake modification processing of obtaining shake-modified image data by modifying a shake state of input image data constituting a moving image, user interface processing of acquiring operation information regarding shake modification, and parameter setting processing of setting a parameter of the shake modification processing on the basis of the operation information acquired in the user interface processing are performed.

A control device includes a processor and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to obtain state information of an electronic device through one or more sensors of the electronic device and control an electronic image stabilization (EIS) function of the electronic device to be in an off state or an on state based on the state information.

An image pickup apparatus includes an image sensor configured to capture an object image, a shutter unit configured to move a shutter blade in a first direction and to control an exposure time to the image sensor, and a shake sensor configured to detect a shake of the image pickup apparatus. When viewed from an image plane side, the shake sensor is disposed away from the shutter unit in a second direction opposite to the first direction.

An image pickup apparatus includes an image pickup unit and a control unit that controls the unit. The control unit has a control substrate, and the image pickup unit and the control substrate are electrically connected by a flexible substrate. The flexible substrate has a first connection portion connected to the image pickup unit, a wiring portion extending from the first connection portion, and a second connection portion connected to the control substrate. A plurality of curved portions is formed on the flexible substrate, and a sheet-like radio wave absorber is partially fixed to the flexible substrate through a plurality of insulating reinforcing materials.

An image stabilization apparatus comprises a motion vector detector that detects a motion vector from images repeatedly output from an image sensor; a first calculator that calculates a first image stabilization coefficient based on the motion vector; a second calculator that calculates a second image stabilization coefficient based on acceleration of shake of an image capturing apparatus; a determination unit that selects either of the first or the second image stabilization coefficient based on information about accuracy of detection of the motion vector; and a translational shake calculator that calculates an amount of translational shake using the first or the second image stabilization coefficient selected by the determination unit. In a case where the information indicates that the accuracy is low, the determination unit selects the second image stabilization coefficient, and select the first image stabilization coefficient otherwise.
