Abstract
A motion sensor is mounted within a camera, and measures motion data such as translation, rotation, and zoom. The motion data is then associated with the video frame data captured by the camera. In some embodiments, the motion data is used to remove jitter in the frame data due to camera movement, and in some embodiments, the motion data is used to remove global motion from frame data before compression. Since the motion data is kept with the video frame data, the motion data is available during decompression of the video frames.
