Abstract
A method of detecting a change in angular position of a camera. A plurality of frames captured by the camera is received, each frame being associated with brightness and acceleration metadata. The brightness metadata is associated with a frame being representative of brightness of a scene captured by the frame. A contiguous set of candidate panning motion frames is selected from the plurality of frames, based on similarity of acceleration characteristics, to determine a change of brightness metadata in the selected contiguous set of frames. An angular movement score is determined for the selected contiguous set of frames using the change of brightness metadata. A change in the angular position of the camera is detected based on the angular movement score to adjust a manner in which the plurality of frames is displayed by a display device coupled with the camera.
