Abstract
Devices, methods, and non-transitory program storage devices are disclosed to provide techniques for distortion compensation in images that are subject to video image stabilization (VIS), e.g., electronic image stabilization (EIS). In some embodiments, the techniques comprise: obtaining a first image captured by a first image capture device; determining a first set of image parameters configured to apply a first distortion operation (e.g., an un-distortion operation) to the first image; determining a second set of image parameters configured to apply a first stabilization operation to a first version of the first image that has already had the first distortion operation applied; determining a third set of image parameters configured to apply a second distortion operation (e.g., an idealized, field of view-preserving, re-distortion operation) to the first image; and applying the determined first, second, and third sets of image parameters to the first image to generate a distortion-compensated and stabilized output image.
