Method for detecting movement of image sensors
View Patent ↗A method to detect the movement of an image sensor. Movement is detected according to a first, second, third, and fourth frame, all captured by the image sensor. A first captured image region is captured from the first frame. Then, a first corresponding region matching the first captured image region is captured from the second frame, wherein the first corresponding region shifts in a predetermined direction relative to the first captured image region. Next, a second captured image region is captured from the third frame, wherein the second captured image region shifts in a direction opposite to the predetermined direction relative to the first captured image region. Then, a second corresponding region matching the second captured image region is captured from the fourth frame. Finally, the movement of the image sensor is determined according to the second captured image region and the second corresponding region.
1. A method for detecting the movement of an image sensor according to a first, second, third, and fourth frame, captured sequentially by the image sensor, comprising the following steps:
selecting a first captured image region in the first frame;
selecting a first corresponding region to match the first captured image region in the second frame, wherein the first corresponding region shifts in a predetermined direction relative to the first captured image region;
selecting a second captured image region in the third frame, wherein the second captured image region shifts in a direction opposite to the predetermined direction relative to the first captured image region;
selecting a second corresponding region to match the second captured image region in the fourth frame; and
determining the movement of the image sensor according to the second captured image region and the second corresponding region.
2. The method for detecting the movement of an image sensor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first captured image region is near the center of the first frame.
