An image alignment method includes steps of receiving a first image and a second image; scaling the first image and the second image by a ratio to generate a first downsized image and a second downsized image respectively; determining a first offset between the first downsized image and the second downsized image; selecting a first saliency region and a second saliency region from the first downsized image and the second downsized image; determining a second offset between a first sub-region within the first image and a second sub-region within the second image, the first sub-region and the second sub-region corresponding to the first saliency region and the second saliency region respectively; determining a final offset according to the ratio, the first offset and the second offset; and aligning the first image and the second image by the final offset.

Image alignment method and image alignment system

An electronic device and methods for image stabilization for use in an electronic device are provided. The method includes the steps of: receiving a plurality of motion data, at least a portion of the plurality of motion data corresponding to a first image frame, determining a motion value corresponding to the first image frame according to the portion of motion data, determining a display offset between the first image frame to a reference image frame according to the motion value and providing a portion of the first image frame for display according to the display offset. The reference image frame is displayed prior to the first image frame and is stored in a storage unit.

Electronic device and method for image stabilization

An embodiment of the invention discloses a face-slimming method applied to a series of images captured by an electronic device. The process begins to receive a current image from the series of captured images and detects at least one face landmark corresponding to a face region of the current image. The face landmark of the current image is compared with a reference landmark and a distortion mask is adjusted accordingly. And then, a size of the face region within the current image is then adjusted according to the distortion mask, where the distortion mask corresponds to positions of the face landmark.
