Abstract
Various embodiments include implementing optical image stabilization (OIS) in a camera module. For example, a controller may control an actuator of the camera module to move a lens group and/or an image sensor of the camera module to provide OIS movement. In various embodiments, OIS movement control is implemented according to a region-based blur reduction model that effects a greater reduction in blur associated with a target region of an image sensor, relative to one or more other regions of the image sensor.
