Abstract
A vibration correction device in an imaging device includes a micromirror array lens, configured to focus an object image onto an image sensor, and a vibration determination device, communicatively coupled to the micromirror array lens, configured to determine vibration of the imaging device and to generate a vibration correction signal. The micromirror array lens is adjusted to change its optical axis based at least in part on the vibration correction signal to correct for the vibration of the micromirror array lens. In one aspect, the micromirror array lens includes a plurality of micromirrors and the optical axis is changed by translation and/or rotation of the plurality of micromirrors. The advantages of the present invention include elimination of need for mechanical macromotions to adjust the optical axis, high sampling rate, simple structure, and flexibility to use any type of vibration determination device.
